February meeting wrap-up

Ten members had dinner and chatted about baseball, football, basketball and the Olympics at Cover 3 in Austin on Feb. 25.

Jan Larson won Bill Gilbert’s trivia quiz related to the 2009 season and 2000 decade with a total score of 24 points, leaving everyone else in the dust. (The quiz can be found under the Contests tab above.)

Most of us agreed that Cover 3 was not as noisy as some of the other locations we’ve met at recently. The chapter plans to have the next meeting at Cover 3 on Tuesday, March 30.

SABR Day

SABR Day group shot

The Rogers Hornsby Chapter joined chapters all across the country and around the world to celebrate SABR Day on Saturday, Jan. 30.

Thirteen people gathered at Chuck Kaufman’s house in northwest Austin to share baseball stories, memorabilia and thoughts about the upcoming season. Chuck and Jennifer Kaufman prepared a veggie tray, chips and salsa and pizza. Monte and Linda Cely brought delicious cupcakes that spelled out SABR Day.

Bill Gilbert brought the ball he threw out as the first pitch to Jeff Kent at Minute Maid Park in April 2009. The Astros invited current and former players who were involved in great games and plays during the first decade of the ballpark. Included with the ball was a photo of Bill and Jeff Kent standing on the field.

Gilbert Martinez shared a photo of Jackie Robinson taken at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, N.J., in 1946, when he played for the Montreal Royals. The group discussed ways to figure out at which game the photo was taken.

Pictured above are, in the front row, from left, Monte Cely, Bill Gilbert and Gilbert Martinez; in the back row, from left, Chuck Kaufman, Jim Baker, Rob Radmer and Jan Larson. Not pictured is Michael Bass. In the photo below are Monte and Linda Cely.
