Moneyball Viewing and Q&A: Rochester, NY
Do you live in upstate New York? Do you want to watch Jonah Hill do this on a large screen tomorrow night?
If so, then do I have the announcement for you. Tomorrow night, St. John Fisher college is hosting a screening of Moneyball, which will be followed by a Q&A about how analytics have been incorporated into the decision making process of professional sports teams. I’ll be included as a panelist in the discussion, which should go for somewhere between an hour to an hour and a half.
The event is free and open to the public. If you’d like to attend, the event will be held in the Wegmans School of Pharmacy, room 139, beginning at 6 pm. The Q&A portion of the evening will be held after the screening of the movie.
So, Rochesterians (?), come hang out with me tomorrow night. It will be fun.
Dave is the Managing Editor of FanGraphs.
a) HOLY CRAP THAT’S WHERE I LIVE
b) haha “wegmen’s”
Will send out to our local SABR Chapter – sorry I will have to miss it though! Who else is on the panel? I couldn’t find info on St. John Fisher’s website.
More like mid-western New York.
Dave, we’re in Western NY.
C’mon! We all know that everything in New York that isn’t NYC is “upstate.”
Unless you live within 1 hour north of NYC. Then you are “upstate” according to NYC residents, and “downstate” according to everybody further north.
New New York.The 51st state. Everything North of Rockland and Westchester Counties.
Rochester and Buffalo are Western New York. There’s also the finger lakes, the southern tier, and the Adirondacks region in addition to ‘upstate’.
Wegman’s FTW!!!
Not one comment on Dave Cameron having a baseball/SABR discussion at a School of Pharmacy?
Rochesterian is the correct Denomonym. Also, you need to have the local delicacy for dinner: The Garbage Plate.
