Bruce McClure is the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Membership Ambassador and Chair of the Northern New England Chapter of SABR. His passion for baseball comes through loud and clear, as does his feelings on why SABR is the perfect organization for baseball fans. Bruce started out in professional hockey, working in the front offices of the NHL's Hartford Whalers and the AHL's Springfield Indians.
