Our members include everyone from academics to professional sportswriters to amateur historians and statisticians to students and casual fans who merely enjoy reading about baseball history and occasionally gathering with other members to talk baseball.<\/p>\n<p>SABR members have a variety of interests, and this is reflected in the diversity of its research committees. There are more than two dozen groups devoted to the study of a specific area related to the game \u2014 from Baseball and the Arts to Statistical Analysis to the Deadball Era to Women in Baseball. In addition, many SABR members meet formally and informally in regional chapters throughout the year and hundreds come together for the annual national convention, the organization&#8217;s premier event. These meetings often include panel discussions with former major league players and research presentations by members.<\/p>\n<p>Most of all, SABR members love talking baseball with like-minded friends. What unites them all is an interest in the game and joy in learning more about it.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"benefits\"><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-164982 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags.jpg\" alt=\"2023 SABR journals\" width=\"400\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-1030x486.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-768x363.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-1536x725.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-1500x708.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/sabr.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/2023-sabr-mags-705x333.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why join SABR?
