Dear Peter:

Our ongoing Campaign for Baseball Research is a fundraising effort to expand, maintain, and preserve SABR’s Research Collection and Research Resources for current and future generations of baseball enthusiasts.

SABR’s Research Collection continues to grow and attract interest from all corners of the baseball universe, sometimes in unexpected ways. Two years ago, SABR was contacted by Geddy Lee, renowned frontman of the legendary rock band Rush and prolific baseball memorabilia collector. Geddy was authoring a book to showcase some of his favorite pieces in the collection and wanted to use SABR BioProject biographies to help tell their stories. In the end, the work of over 30 SABR members is featured in Geddy’s new book, 72 Stories from the Baseball Collection of Geddy Lee. It’s a fantastic illustration of how SABR research can inspire all corners of the worldwide baseball community to expand and share their love of the game.

In collaboration with Geddy Lee, a signed copy of his book is available to donors who make a contribution of $500 or more during our Campaign for Baseball Research.
