SABR 50: Orioles Hall of Famer Mike Bordick added to speakers lineup

We are excited to welcome Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer Mike Bordick as a featured speaker at SABR 50 in Baltimore.

Bordick will be interviewed by John McMurray during the Oral History Committee meeting at 2:00 p.m. on Friday, August 19 at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor.

Bordick spent 14 years as a shortstop in the major leagues from 1990 to 2003 and he was elected to the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame in 2011. While playing for the Orioles from 1997 to 2002, he was one of the best defensive players in club history, setting records for most consecutive error-less games and chances at shortstop, and making the American League All-Star team in 2000.

Following his retirement, he spent nine seasons as an Orioles broadcaster with MASN and graduated with a degree in physical education and kinesiology from the University of Maine, where he led the Bears to two College World Series berths in the 1980s. He currently serves as Chairman of the Board for League of Dreams, a Maryland nonprofit that provides sports programs to people of all ages with special needs.

The National Pastime serves as SABR’s convention-focused publication. Published annually, this research journal provides in-depth articles focused on the respective geographic region where the national convention is taking place in a given year.

In 2020, we published a Baltimore-themed edition of The National Pastime while the convention shifted to a virtual event. Last year, the TNP theme was on the Future According to Baseball.

Next week, we’re finally heading to Baltimore for the long awaited, highly anticipated SABR 50 convention! For the 2022 edition of The National Pastime, we decided to focus on the history and evolution of minor league baseball, with a special cover illustration by artist Andy Brown.

New SABR Century project: Baseball and the Supreme Court

One hundred years ago, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Federal Baseball Club v. National League on May 29, 1922 — a ruling that granted Major League Baseball exemption from the antitrust laws of the United States. MLB is the only professional sports league in North America that continues to hold blanket immunity, although others enjoy limited immunity in regard to television rights.

Since 1922, MLB’s antitrust exemption has been upheld twice by the Supreme Court: in Toolson v. New York Yankees, Inc. (1953) and Flood v. Kuhn (1972). Fifty years ago, Curt Flood’s landmark case — in which he challenged the reserve clause system that tied players to their original team forever — helped set in motion the establishment of free agency for all major leaguers in the 1970s.

At SABR.org, we are excited to unveil Baseball and the Supreme Court, edited by SABR Century Committee chair Sharon Hamilton with section introductions by award-winning historians Michael Haupert, Daniel R. Levitt, and Robert Elias.

On these pages we will dive into the SABR Research Collection archives and draw on the contributions of nearly 30 SABR authors to tell the story of baseball’s milestone cases before America’s highest court. Listen to Curt Flood’s story in his own words from our SABR Oral History Collection interview and view primary source documents from the Federal League’s lawsuit against Organized Baseball, which was overseen by federal judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis — soon to become baseball’s first commissioner.

A look back at SABR 12 — 1982 Baltimore convention

Next week, the annual SABR convention will return to Baltimore for the first time in 40 years. The SABR convention has grown tremendously since our last visit to Baltimore for the 12th annual convention, held on the campus of Towson University on June 25-27, 1982.

A lively SABR convention that summer saw an explosion in attendance to 227, “by far the biggest event the Society has participated in during its 11 years,” as founder Bob Davids reported in the SABR Bulletin. The Orioles generously provided hundreds of free tickets to Saturday night’s game against the Detroit Tigers — No. 24 in rookie Cal Ripken Jr.’s record-setting streak that began just four weeks earlier on May 30, 1982.

At the SABR convention, Tigers broadcaster Ernie Harwell delivered the invocation at the Saturday banquet and then introduced the keynote speaker, manager Sparky Anderson, who offered “a testimonial of his … good fortune of going from a .218 hitter to a World Champion manager (with the Cincinnati Reds).”
