The confluence of great events

August 10, 1971: Sixteen baseball historians gather in Cooperstown and form the Society for American Baseball Research (better known as SABR today).

Meanwhile in Chicago, the Fasano family welcomes baby Salvatore Frank into the family.

Coincidence? I think not.

According to SABR executive director John Zajc, there are 7,040 members of SABR today. And now Sal Fasano wears Yankee pinstripes.

What a country!

Yes, it is, but I have something else for tomorrow to run. And I just got the email from John Zajc mentioning the Fasano/SABR confluence.
