One of the great benefits of SABR has been Proquest, which gives you the ability to search a number of on-line newspapers. Unfortunately, Proquest has had financial problems and is cancelling all charity memberships such as SABR at the end of the year. Given this, you should use it as much as you can. I've been saving a number of baseball articles to my hard drive, including articles on collectible auctions (a Home Run Baker bat sold for $250 in 1912), a great article on Jose Mendez (the black Christy Mathewson--or should it have been vice versa?) and Honus Wagner and Mathewson signing to play in the PCL.
