Good morning, SABR Friends. Here's the latest in Chapter news and notes. Please read and Mark your
calendar....
PRESENTING OLD SANDBAGS WITH HIS BOOK
6 contributors to the Sandlock book will present the tome to Mike on March 19 at
Innis Ardens. Due to club restrictions, this gathering can't be opened up to
all members I regret to say. If Mike is up to it, He will sign copies of the
book and adhesive book plates for our chapter members.
SANDLOCK BOOK SALES TO DATE
We have sold 26 copies directly as a chapter at $10 each. Each book costs us
$9.15 to publish so it's important to try to sell all 100 copies initially
printed.
18 copies have sold so far on Amazon. (Print on Demand.) The chapter makes $5 on
each book. I send a royalty report to Steve, Stan and Alan weekly.
Purchasing a book directly from the chapter is $6 cheaper than buying on Amazon.
If you would like to buy a book please email me and I will send you the details.
BREAKFAST ON MARCH 26
Our next breakfast will be at 10 AM on March 26 at the Hamden Town House. Join
in for good fellowship and lively baseball conversation. Beyond this specific
breakfast, we want to identify potential alternate breakfast sites because
attendance at the breakfasts exceeds how much space the Town House can offer.
Please email me with suggestions about a different breakfast site if you have
one. We want to stay centrally located and have a back or side room and an
affordable menu.
THE WOOD PILE
The news budget for the summer edition of TWP tentatively includes trivia, book
news, a book review, a piece on Mickey Mantle's 1956 TC/MVP season, the HOF
case for Harlond Clift, a conversation with Bill MacLeod, Dinner with Jim
Bouton and other features. More is needed. Please let me know what you may be
interested in contributing to TWP. All submissions are needed by July 1.
HANO! A DOCUMENTARY SCREENING, JUNE 18
There will be a chapter screening of HANO! A Century In The Bleachers at 10 AM
at Middlesex Community College in Middletown. The screening will be followed
by a Q&A with the filmmaker, Jon Leonoudakis. Coffee, Decaf, water and
munchkins will be available.
You can purchase a DVD of the film for $20 plus shipping at
