San Diego Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research Meeting
A legendary collection of baseball material, including invaluable research, printed materials, and historic literature, has been donated to the San Diego Public Library and San Diego Ted Williams Chapter of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR). The William J. Weiss Collection of baseball history was cultivated by Weiss, a well-respected baseball historian and includes items dating back to the 1870s.
Before select items are integrated into the San Diego Central Library’s Sullivan Family Baseball Research Center in mid-February, the public is invited to a free presentation of collection material.
The event is hosted by the San Diego SABR Chapter with presentations from local baseball experts and comments from Padres/Fox San Diego broadcaster Mark Grant.
The public is encouraged to attend the event to learn more about highlight items in the William J. Weiss Collection, which enhances San Diego’s position as holding the most comprehensive assemblage of baseball research materials outside of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.
