For our 40th anniversary in 2011, we updated that SABR history book to reflect the ensuing decade - and also made it much easier to find. Tom Hufford, one of the organization's 16 founding members, took Dick Thompson's original "A History of SABR" text and added more details as SABR has grown over the last 11 years. It was edited by Gary Gillette, Bill Nowlin and Jacob Pomrenke. Much of what you'll read in the chapters below first appeared in Society for American Baseball Research in 2000.
