SABR Member Benefit Spotlight: What to Expect at SABR 53
MAY 1, 2025 — As a SABR member, you have vast resources and benefits at your disposal. With so much information at your fingertips, we realize it can be overwhelming to absorb it all! To highlight key benefits, read on for this month’s SABR Member Benefit Spotlight, an email series that identifies and explains some of the most valuable features of your membership. We hope this allows you to take full advantage of all SABR has to offer. With less than two months until our annual convention, some of our friends in Texas give you an idea of what to expect at SABR 53.
Whether you’re a rookie SABR member, or a longtime vet, we invite you to join us on June 25-29 at the Westin DFW Airport hotel for our biggest event of the year, SABR 53!
SABR’s Annual Convention is a great way to celebrate the game with like-minded baseball fans, while making life-long friendships with your fellow SABR members. The festivities include a Frisco RoughRiders game, a Texas Rangers game, and a tour of Globe Life Field, as well as groundbreaking research presentations and a trivia contest. We’re also excited to host an exciting group of speakers and panelists, including Hall of Famers Iván Rodríguez and Ferguson Jenkins; Texas Rangers Manager Bruce Bochy and President of Baseball Operations Chris Young, and many more. You can learn more about our featured speakers, as well as register for the event, at sabr.org/convention.
Don’t just take our word for it! Here is a short video featuring some of our hosts in Texas sharing their favorite reasons to attend this summer’s SABR 53 convention in their home state:
