My latest @SABRbioproject is now online. Bud Clancy (1900-1968) was born and raised in Odell, IL. He played first base for the @whitesox, @Dodgers, @Phillies, and a host of minor-league teams. Special thanks to the Dwight, IL Historical Society volunteers. Link in comments. ⚾️
A great way to start the 2026 season. ⚾️

Without a doubt, the most famous concert by The Beatles took place at Shea Stadium, but 60 years ago today they played at Chicago’s Comiskey Park. Here’s my @IBWAA story about a personal connection to that afternoon’s performance. ibwaa.substack.com/p/when-be…
Hope you’ll join us on Saturday. ⚾️

Work had me nowhere near Wrigley Field today, but I had to stop by and pay my respects.

In 2022, I wrote about the impact of the trade between the @Cubs and @Phillies that brought Ryne Sandberg to the Cubs. Here’s a link to my IBWAA article. ibwaa.substack.com/p/revisit…
My favorite baseball player has died. Ryne Sandberg joined the @Cubs and made an impression on a young baseball fan in Westchester, Illinois. This news hurts. ⚾️
