The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) convention, that's why. Hundreds of baseball nuts from around the country are getting together in Cincinnati this weekend and I'll be there. I'm a fairly new SABR member and this will be my first convention, so I'm pretty excited.
I've heard from people who have gone in the past that the convention is a very good time, and perhaps even more than going to the actual convention, I'm looking forward to meeting all of these "online friends" I've made over the past couple years and all these writers whose work I've enjoyed.

メジャーリーグ・マニアのオフ会みたいなものだ。
Aaron Gleemanは、両リーグの詳細な前半戦総括を書き上げて、シンシナチに向かったようである。

深い分析でたいへん示唆に富んでいるので、一両日中にじっくり解説したい。
