SABR 41: Top Tweets From Long Beach

LONG BEACH — As part of our ongoing coverage from SABR 41 last week in Long Beach, we set up a Twitter widget on the SABR.org home page by which convention attendees could post live updates from every presentation, panel and ballgame.

Here are some of the top tweets from SABR 41:

  • @aarongleeman: Final verdict on #SABR41  in California: Any of y’all who don’t come to #SABR42 in Minnesota next year ought to be ashamed of yourself.
  • @robneyer: In a room filled with Baseball Primates. If you don’t see another Tweet from me by Monday, please send help. #SABR41

  • @crzblue: Impromptu session outside the corridor when #SABR41 attendees stopped Wes Parker to chat. He still talking ! Have some in video @Dodgers
