It's difficult to believe that the summer--and baseball season--are almost over.


In order to keep SABR readers and researchers in reading material through the off-season, we're pleased to announce that SABR has added 13 issues of Baseball Research Journal and 18 issues of The National Pastime to the SABR online journal archive. This addition makes more than 500 new individual research articles available online to SABR and other baseball historians, statisticians, and fans. Click here to go to the archive.
