Okay, gearing up for the last five research presentations of the day. I might have to miss the last one in order to get the bus to the ballpark in time. I probably should have not paid for the bus and just taken MARTA instead, but when I was buying my tickets months ago it had seemed like a good idea. I actually went and took a nap instead of eating lunch, because my eyes were trying to shut during the last two presentations before it.
This afternoon it is really difficult to choose which presentation to see, but I decided to start with Vince Gennaro because every year he comes up with something very sharp and insightful. It means missing Gary Gillette’s presentation on disappearing Negro League ballparks, but I figure I can get Gary to give me the gist of it later if I see him in the bar or at the game.
The slate:
Vince Gennaro – Measuring the asset value of players: A framework for evaluating trades
Geri Strecker – Whose dream was it?: Revisiting the formation of the Negro National League in 1920
Ross Davies – Chinese-U.S. baseball diplomacy before the Great War
Will Dahlberg – A tool for diplomacy: Baseball in occupied Japan 1945-1952
Robert Fitts – Babe Ruth, Eiji Sawamura and war
