1919 BLACK SOX IN MARCH AT MIDDLESEX

jacob

Please save March 23 on your calendar for a general meeting of CT SABR.  Among the segments will be a panel discussion on the 1919 Black Sox scandal featuring Jacob Pomrenke, Jim Margalus and Bill Lamb.  Jacob is the chairman and newsletter editor for the Black Sox Scandal Research Committee.  Bill is the author of Black Sox in the Courtroom: The Grand Jury, Criminal Trial and Civil Litigation.   Jim is the managing editor of southsidesox.com.  We are truly fortunate to have these three experts traveling from New York, New Hampshire and Arizona to join us.

 

Additionally, Mark Kanter will speak about the 1919 Cincinnati Reds, a team seldom recognized for its excellence.

Author Erik Sherman is unable to attend.  We’re setting up an additional presenter and details are TBA.

There will be refreshments and a book sale.

The meeting will commence at 11:00 AM. Sat., March 23, 2019 at Chapman Hall, Room 605, Middlesex Community College, 100 Training Hill Rd., Middletown, CT 06457.  For more information contact Steve at SKrevisky@mxcc.commnet.edu.

 

The event details can be found at www.smokyjoewood.com/events and on Facebook.

 

Thank you so much!

Attendees will “manage” baseball teams of the past against other long-gone teams in a well known board game named Strat-O-Matic. ‘Managers’ have the opportunity to lead, for example, the 1927 Yankees versus the 1967 Red Sox, or the 1948 Braves versus the 1955 Dodgers.

No experience required.  Newbies welcome.  Public welcome.  Anyone interested in participating need not own Strat-O-Matic and should contact Karl at kcicitto@cox.net.
