The CT SABR Holiday Luncheon will take place on Saturday, December 22, from 12 to 3 p.m., at Portofino’s Italian Restaurant, 246 New Britain Road, Kensington, CT, 06037.

There will be a buffet lunch costing $30 per person. Family and friends are welcome.

Mark Kanter will speak about his 16 day trip to Japan, which included 8 days with tour operator, Japan Ball.  Mark observed local baseball fetishes and culture while traveling 15,000+ miles in all.  Among cities visited were Osaka, Yokohama, Hiroshima and Tokyo.  There are no less than 6 major league teams in the Tokyo Metro alone!

By experiencing baseball in Japan, the worldwide wandering Kanter has added to his list of diamond destinations which includes Cuba and Puerto Rico — not to mention the overseas SABR member connections Mark has made while in England and Australia.

Expect a good time, good fellowship, great food and an interesting program at this event!
