Bill Nowlin
Bill Nowlin was one of the first fans to the mound when Jim Lonborg induced the final out and the Red Sox won the 1967 pennant. He was elected as SABR’s Vice President from 2004-2016 and served on the Board as a Director since that time. He is also the author of dozens of books on the Red Sox or Red Sox players, including Ted Williams At War and Love That Dirty Water: The Standells and the Improbable Victory Anthem of the Boston Red Sox (both from Rounder Books.) He has written Johnny Pesky’s biography (Mr. Red Sox) and that of Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey (University of Nebraska Press.) He has written more than 1,000 articles for SABR, from journal articles to Games Project accounts, including more than 700 bios for BioProject, and edited or co-edited more than 50 SABR books. Bill is also co-founder of Rounder Records of Cambridge, Massachusetts. He’s traveled to more than 100 countries, but says there’s no place like Fenway Park.
