University of Maryland!

Jane’s always entertaining. So glad she’s here today.

I got Tim Raines and Tom Glavine!

A great crowd for the Bob Davids chapter’s annual SABR Day meeting. The threat of bad weather can’t keep a good crowd down.

Thanks for all the hard work - great off-season entertainment!

Up early for the Baltimore Babe Ruth chapter’s #SABRDay meeting. They do a great meeting every year. The room’s packed and we’ve just barely started.

This is always a great meeting!

M & M's are OK in/on anything.

That was 90 minutes well spent! I'm looking forward to reading about the other attorneys who we didn't cover in this morning's meeting.

And thus the fun of following the Tracker. Let's find out!

I think we all learned a lot this morning - looking forward to reading this!

C - Hoyt Wilhelm. It was the only home run of his career.

Today’s long-lost bookmark, found.

I’m here too. It’s nice when the breeze kicks in.

So, a new pope….the big question is, is he a Cubs or a White Sox fan?

A great talk this morning. Pete Browning is buried in the same cemetery in Louisville as Muhammad Ali and Colonel Harlan Sanders of KFC fame. A beautiful place to visit if you're down that way and into that sort of thing (I am).

Melissa Ludtke and WP writer Ava Wallace talking about Melissa’s book “Locker Room Talk” at Wonderland Books in Bethesda MD. Melissa has a great story, always delivered in an insightful and entertaining way.

Will's a good speaker. This was his first SABR talk, but he'll be speaking to other SABR chapters in the coming days and weeks.

This is always a good meeting.

A great way to start the weekend!

This is always a great event! And big shout-outs to @notmrtibbs.com, @tonycal.bsky.social, and @shutthedore.bsky.social for their great work every year with the HOF Tracker. This helps get some of us through the cold Winter!

Yeah, I realized after posting that matzoh really has nothing to do with Hanukkah.

Happy Hanukkah!

Merry Christmas to All!

My old modems are going to go live on a farm!
