SABR 50 at 50: Introduction

Baseball has seen many changes in the last 50 years, and SABR’s 50th anniversary in 2021 provides an opportunity to highlight the most memorable players, teams, and events from the game’s glorious past.

Leading up to the 50th anniversary of SABR’s original meeting at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, we invite all baseball fans to celebrate the game we all love with the SABR 50 at 50 Project, a monthly series recognizing the most interesting and insightful stories that have had a significant impact on the sport since 1971.
