in addition to Miami, I will be in Boston for the Saberseminar (not run by SABR) Aug 13-14

Expecting at least a little verbal slapstick from Ozzie Guillen and Jack McKeon on today's panels. And among the oral presentations, "Marvin Miller Takes on Topps Chewing Gum, Inc."

Just saw a Cuban MLB player panel including a 75-yo fella in a sweater who turned out to be '71 Pirates SS Jackie Hernandez. (ie I am feeling old.) Also Jorge Posada's irascible uncle Leo, who led the majors in sac flies in '61 (KC A's).
