SABR Digital Library: 1986 Mets/Red Sox: There Was More Than Game Six
It's a double feature! Add two new baseball books to your collection with the latest releases from the SABR Digital Library:
The 1986 New York Mets: There Was More Than Game Six
Edited by Leslie Heaphy and Bill Nowlin
ISBN (paperback): 978-1-943816-13-2, $19.95
ISBN (ebook): 978-1-943816-12-5, $9.99
8.5" x 11", 360 pages
The 1986 Boston Red Sox: There Was More Than Game Six
Edited by Bill Nowlin and Leslie Heaphy
ISBN (paperback): 978-1-943816-13-2, $19.95
ISBN (ebook): 978-1-943816-12-5, $9.99
8.5" x 11", 415 pages
This two-book companion series focuses on the rivals that met in the 1986 World Series, the Boston Red Sox and the New York Mets, including biographies of every player, coach, broadcaster, and other important figures in baseball's top organizations that year.
This book on the 1986 season re-tells the story of that year's classic World Series. After four games, each team had won two away games and neither had won at home. Then the Red Sox won Game Five at Fenway, and were one game away from winning their first World Championship in 86 years. It came to the point they were one pitch away from baseball Nirvana. And then ...
Just about everyone knows what happened, but there are takes on it here you might not have read elsewhere. Mostly, this is the story of each of the players, coaches, managers, and broadcasters, their lives in baseball, and the way the 1986 season fit into their lives.
As with many of the books published by SABR, this was a true collaborative effort. There are 74 different SABR members who contributed to making these two books on the Mets and Red Sox a reality. It took us two books to tell the story as well as we wanted. Get your copy of each book for the full story!

Would you like to help decide the winners of SABR's research awards?
Each year, the SABR Board of Directors appoints more than a dozen members to small committees that choose our research award winners.
Now is the time to let us know if you would like to be considered for one of these positions. To apply, please send an e-mail to SABR Director Ty Waterman indicating which award you would like to judge, and providing answers to these questions: (1) why you are interested in serving (2) any relevant experience (3) what your research interests are. If you choose to weave these questions into one answer, you may do so.

Calling all User Interaction and Big Data Geeks
Perhaps a camel is a horse designed by committee, but small groups can deliver outstanding apps in short order with the right combination of people. Imagine you could sit in front of the 120,000 index cards The Sporting News kept on every player who signed a professional baseball contract during the 20th century and use them to complete the information missing from the master database of major and minor league players.
Soon, SABR members will be able to do this — if we build them a great app. In conjunction with the LA84 Foundation, SABR is imaging the cards and digitizing the contents into full text records with integrated image mapping in XML files.
If this intrigues you and you think you may have expertise to bring to the table, please contact SABR Treasurer F.X. Flinn, who is coordinating the project.
In Memoriam: Rick Meister
We're saddened to report the death of Frederick J. "Rick" Meister, 71, of Canton, Michigan, who died on March 28, 2016, while on a spring training trip in Florida. Meister joined SABR in 2001; he was active in the Negro Leagues Research Committee and a familiar face at the annual Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference.
Meister was born on September 9, 1944. He was the loving father of Mark (Susan) Meister, Michael (Michael) Meister, and Laura (Michael) Stidham, and a grandfather to Kaitlyn, Alyssa, Elizabeth, Stephen, Benjamin, and Matthew.
A visitation will be held from 2:00-8:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 3 at the John Molnar Funeral Home, Southgate Chapel, in Southgate, Michigan. A funeral service is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Monday, April 4 at Christ the Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 1540 Riverbank in Lincoln Park, Michigan, with burial to follow at Our Lady of Hope Cemetery in Brownstown.
