Cleveland Rocked
My thanks to Mark Moore, senior subject librarian, and the rest of the staff at the amazing Cleveland Public Library for hosting yesterday’s panel discussion. The Louis Stokes Wing Auditorium is a terrific venue and a great crowd turned out. I am fortunate to have been included in such a first-rate event. As I mentioned in my remarks, I was especially pleased that I had the chance to thank SABR in public while standing in front of a microphone. If you spend any amount of time with “Chief Bender’s Burden” and take anything away from the experience it is foremost because of the direct and indirect help I received from SABR members. That SABR invited me to participate in the panel is yet another reason why I am indebted.

"Chief Bender's Burden" has won the 2009 Seymour Medal, which recognizes the best work of baseball history during the preceding calendar year. Thanks awards committee, Dorothy Seymour Mills, the Society for American Baseball Research, and readers!

This was an outstanding panel discussion; only criticism is that it was too short.

Thanks, Dwight. Nice to hear someone other than me got something out of it. I wish we could have had more time, too, especially for questions. Audience members asked such good questions. Hardly a surprise.
