Has anyone ever attended one of these? Next year is in Atlanta, so I'm pretty much gonna go.

This is like Comicon for Baseball...the ulitmate in dorkiness.

2009 topics:
Strategy, Fatigue, or Something Else?

Doubled Up: The Mysterious Illness that Almost Ended George Sisler’s Hall-of-Fame Career

Mis-Management 101: The American League Expansion of 1961

Baseball’s Lost Generation: The Profound Effect of the Great Depression on Baseball in the 1960s

The Whole Show: George Wilson 1875-1915

Stadium Construction and Fan Attendance for Minor League Baseball

I'm no historian, but isn't the 1960s a few decades off from the actual topic?

That's why you go to the presentations.

It might be some theory that our entry into WWII was a direct result of part of our recovery efforts from the Great Depression, and while we were sending young men out to war, there was a dip in population growth which thinned out the talent pool for 18-30 year olds during the 60's.

That why these things are for the dorkiest of the baseball dorks.

If it were closer than Atlanta I'd go. In fact, that Depression one is a presentation I'd really like to see

yea, it does sound pretty cool, maybe if they're in the midwest someday I'll go

I'm hoping to go next year and in subsequent years. Looks cool!

If anyone is in ATL, let me know.

I'm actually in Atlanta for 2 nights next week for the WPS Ticket Summitt...

If anyone is in ATL, and wants to meet up, let me know.
