SABR Elections
Tom Hufford was re-elected and Leslie Heaphy elected as directors of SABR. Helped by the addition of on-line balloting, the election drew 1,480 votes, which is 23.7 percent of the membership, well above the median of 7.3 percent during the period of mail-only voting.
Originally from Indianapolis, he saw his first game in 1948 between the Indianapolis Indians and the St. Paul Saints. He got hooked on the White Sox by his dad, who had attended Illinois Tech in Chicago. Dave was 12 when the White Sox went on a 14-game winning streak in 1951, but he adds, “My principal memory from that experience was the frustrating process of watching and listening to the White Sox lose to the Yankees year after year.” After coming to Minnesota, Dave was able to attend one of the World Series games at the Metrodome in 1987. Dave and his wife, Caroline, have six children and eight grandchildren. He shares his March 12 birthday with Darryl Strawberry, Dale Murphy, Raul Mondesi, Steve Finley, Ruppert Jones, Jim Wynn, Johnny Callison, Ray “Buddy” Barker, Vernon Law, Joe Engel, Bobby Marshall, Durwood Merrill, Liza Minnelli, Mitt Romney, Edward Albee, Jack Kerouac, Barbara Feldon, James Taylor, Wally Schirra, Two-Ton Tony Galento, and Buckwheat.
Attendees will have a chance to win prizes including tickets to an upcoming show on Hennepin Theatre Trust’s 2010-2011 Broadway Season, CD soundtracks and baseball-themed merchandise. The event is free and open to the public. Go to http://www.hennepintheatretrust.org/events/baseball-historian-stew-thornley.
