A request!!!! I am writing the SABR bio for Frankie Austin. I am pretty sure that I had a conversation on here with someone about this and they had some information on Austin's death (heart problems). However, I cannot find it in my mentions. Can anyone help me with this?

Does anyone here have accurate (or even estimated) historical baseball card sales data, or can you point me to a source that does? @sabrbbcards.bsky.social Interested in unit sales more than money.

I think the weight of the evidence suggests that the choice of who serves on the committee, which belongs to the Hall, can very much influence the outcome of the voting. We’ve seen it w/r/t former teammates/managers/execs connected to candidates, and those outspoken regarding PED use.

Voting is underway for SABR’s Board of Directors. I’ve been an advocate for strong local chapters and have focused on building partnerships with organizations. Today was a wonderful example of that collaboration with the Dwight Historical Society. I hope I’ve earned your first-choice vote. ⚾️

I don’t know a single person who has watched THE DIAMOND KING and not thoroughly enjoyed it. Not all of them are collectors or even baseball fans. The film won Best of Fest at the Palm Springs Film festival for a reason!

Voting is open until May 7. Since joining SABR in 2016, I've been active with the Chicago and Central Illinois chapters. During March and April, SABR welcomed more than 500 new members. As a board member, I'll continue to focus upon growth and developing external partnerships. ⚾️
