Did you know that, within two-and-a-half hours' driving time from Washington, D.C., site of SABR 39, there are:

• Three major-league baseball teams -- including the defending World Series champion Philadelphia Phillies?
• A dozen affiliated and independent minor league teams?
• Not one, not two, but three collegiate wood-bat leagues, each of which will be playing their championship series while SABR 39 is in D.C.?

It's all true. Members of the SABR 39 planning committee have already pulled the schedules of the teams, including games before and after the convention if you want to put together your own baseball road trip. In the coming weeks, we'll issue the teams' scheduling information along with driving directions from the J.W. Marriott Hotel, home of SABR 39.

UPDATE: The Schedule of area games is now available as a PDF.
