jay behrensI've been a member since 1984 when I first found Bill James' Baseball Abstract. This year will be my last year. The organization is no longer fun. There used to be a time when you could have fun, make up silly stats to measure inconsequential things and it was all good. Now, if you do anything like that, you are laughed out of the room. Everything has to be done "academically correct" or the stats have to significant and meaningful. There's no fun allowed anymore, so I am moving on.
I've been renewing my membership for the great books, but the ones that really interest me are few and far between. It'll just be cheaper for me to buy the ones I want at a bookstore.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
