Rogers Hornsby Chapter Meeting (Austin, TX)

On Saturday, January 13th we'll gather at Old Main Building on the Texas State University campus in San Marcos, TX for our 12th annual Winter Meeting. We cordially invite all SABR members and their guests to join us.

Our keynote speaker, Branch B. Rickey, president of the Pacific Coast League, will highlight a fun-filled day of baseball talk, pictures, and memorabilia.

Other presentations include:

Mike Capps of the Round Rock Express giving us the run-down on the Rangers' 2017 season, offseason, and future.

Lisa Carter from KHOU in Houston discussing how she covered the Astros and the 2017 World Series.

Ira Siegel sharing his experiences with RBI (Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities) Austin, an MLB-led effort to keep the passion of the game alive in underprivileged youth.

Anne Keene telling us how her father played ball with Ted Williams and Johnny Sain during their WWII service days.

Monte Cely regaling us with tales of his recent Cuban baseball adventure.

Jim Baker leading us in a fun, challenging guessing game.

Of course we'll have a mock Hall of Fame voting led by Jan Larson. Does Chipper Jones make your ballot? How about Andruw? Do Jim Thome's 612 home runs make you want to check the box next to his name? You'll get to have your say.

Finally, we're excited to bring you a different kind of event: Baseball Bingo! Get ready to mingle with your fellow seamheads, because you'll need their signatures on your card in order to win.

Please remember to bring:

$10 cash for lunch from Which Which.

Any memorabilia you'd like to share or discuss. We'll have a table for display and have scheduled time for people to present their items to the group.
