While not a member of SABR, I am a baseball fan. I even started the American Baseball Fans Association. I revel in his work for the baseball fan and for all those who enjoyed the movie "Moneyball". I salute his full, generous and wonderful life.

Bob McConnell and Bob Davids - 2001
Bob was a great man. He was very intellegent and at the same time kind and gracious. He and Bob Davids were the heart of SABR. The picture is from the Baltimore-Washington Chapter (now the Bob Davids Chapter) meeting of SABR in November 2001.
Bob, we will miss you very much.

Bob's passing leaves a void in the SABR community. For more than 3 decades, I have sought his wisdom on a variety of baseball topics and never been disappointed by the scope of his knowledge. Baseball researchers present and future will miss him very much. RIP, Bob.

I have been a SABR member for a long time and Bob has been a part of my experience with the group since the beginning. My files contain many letters from him with answers to questions I had posed. He was always ready to offer help and he did so. Kind, gracious and a perfect gentleman, Bob McConnell.
