One of the more interesting developments around Spring Training so far has been MLB measuring player heights to the millimeter to help calibrate the ABS strike zone experiment. More than one player listed at 6′ 0″ is suddenly just a bit shorter, according to the league.

We won’t be measuring anyone’s height, I promise, but topics like ABS are sure to come up in discussions at this month’s lunch with SABR Hornsby friends on Sunday, March 16, 1 pm, at Hurricane Grill & Wings (2701 Parker Dr., Suite D-200, Round Rock). 

As always, we’re requesting RSVPs to ensure seating for everyone at the restaurant. Our mobile-friendly Google Form works great to RSVP – just let us know you’re coming, how many people are in your group, your name(s), and if you’re a first-timer to a Hornsby meeting, and hit submit when you’re done.

Please have your RSVP in by Thursday, March 13. Hope you can join us!

Close out your 2024 baseball fascination at lunch with SABR Hornsby friends on Sunday, December 15th, 1pm, at County Line on the Lake (Ranch Road 2222 off Capital of Texas Highway 360).

With Snell and Kikuchi off the board, Soto and many others still out there as I write, and Winter Meetings coming up, there’s sure to be a lot to discuss.

As always, we’re requesting RSVPs to ensure seating at the restaurant. We’re introducing a Google Form you can use with a few clicks from a phone or desktop, and no Google account is required.

Here’s the Dec 2024 RSVP form – check the box, select how many people you’re bringing, tell us their names, check the box for first-timers, and hit the red submit button – you should see a thank you when successful. Since this is our first use of a form, if you have any difficulty, let me know at donalddingee [at] gmail.com so we can be sure you are RSVPed.

The last day for RSVPs is Thursday, December 12th. Hope you can join us!
