David's baseball lineage comes from his maternal grandfather who played in Montreal. He has done paintings of ballparks, stylized baseball cards and whimsical bobbleheads. Sean, from Chicago, is renowned for his painted baseball gloves, depicting players from Addie Joss to Roy Halladay!

Put that quote on the SABR dot org front page. That is free marketing thousands of companies in the country would pay $$$ for. #SABR53
Bruce Bochy told his players he was going to the SABR convention. They asked “What does that stand for—sandwiches and baseball?” “No,” he said. “It stands for people who know more about your career than you do.”
