The annual SABR convention, which is open to all baseball fans, includes top featured speakers from around the baseball world — front office executives, players, managers, scouts, journalists, historians, and analysts — innovative panel discussions, groundbreaking research presentations, ballgames, the SABR Trivia Contest, and most of all, the opportunity to make and renew baseball friendships over the course of this exciting and memorable event.
SABR 52 will be distinct from its predecessors, featuring a Hall of Fame speaker lineup — and the most accessible and social experience we’ve ever organized as we emphasize SABR’s ability to unite all of us in baseball fellowship.
