The SABRorigins eGroup is a restricted and unmoderated discussion group for members of The Society for American Baseball Research - Base Ball Origins Research Committee. The expressed purpose of this site is to foster interactive communication between members regarding their common area of interest - early bat and ball games and the development of The National Pastime. Subscribers are also encouraged post their original research findings, share in research requests and link to URLs, titles and/or brief summaries of 'Base Ball Orgins' articles that would be considered to be of interest to other committee members.

This group is afiliated with the Protoball researchers who maintain a chronology of early baseball references [http://retrosheet.org/Protoball] and the Bobby Thomson Chapter of SABR [Great Britain], aka SABRUK.org
