Bill Nowlin only ever had one base hit in a major-league ballpark. At a charity baseball game at Fenway Park in 2002, he popped up to the shortstop, then shot a couple of foul balls into the seats in left but popped up to third base. His third time up, he lined a clean single between short and third and into left field. Apparently any scouts at the park lost his con- tact information so he continued his work at Rounder Records and, to fill the void as his playing career stalled out, started writing for SABR after that year”s SABR convention in Boston with The Fenway Project, co-edited with Cecilia Tan.
