2026 Henry Chadwick Award recipients announced
SABR is pleased to announce the 2026 recipients of the Henry Chadwick Award, established to honor the game’s great researchers — historians, statisticians, annalists, and archivists — for their invaluable contributions to making baseball the game that links America’s present with its past.
The 2026 recipients of the Henry Chadwick Award are:
- Brian Kenny, host and anchor at MLB Network and ESPN since 1997, bringing analytical insights to World Series coverage, All-Star Games, and the daily rhythms of baseball coverage on television.
- Eugene Murdock, a prolific baseball researcher and past SABR Board President who left behind an essential baseball biography and several dozen interviews with old ballplayers.
- Rob Ruck, a history professor at the University of Pittsburgh, who has been contributing to the research landscape with documentary films and books on topics ranging from Pittsburgh sports history to baseball in Latin America and the Negro Leagues.
- Allan Simpson, founder of Baseball America, which reintroduced minor league baseball coverage to thousands of fans in the early 1980s and initiated meaningful widespread reporting on college baseball.

Contribute to SABR’s Four Pillars Fund
Research – Preservation – Scholarship – Future of the Game. These are the four pillars on which SABR stands as an organization.
Each represents one of our core values, and together they form the foundation of a global community dedicated to understanding, celebrating, and advancing the great game of baseball. With the support of donors like you, we’re not only fortifying that foundation, but we’re also building what comes next.
This spring, we ask you to contribute to the FOUR PILLARS FUND. Our goal is to raise $85,000 during this campaign to strengthen each of our four pillars by supporting baseball research, committing to preservation, furthering the reach of our scholarship, and building a bridge to the future of the game.
To donate or learn more about SABR’s Four Pillars Fund and the existing efforts and exciting new initiatives that will be funded by a successful campaign, visit SABR.org/donate/four-pillars.

Rep. Jamie Flick sponsors Pennsylvania House resolution to recognize Negro Leagues Day
SABR member Jamie Flick sponsored a resolution in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to commemorate Negro Leagues Day in Pennsylvania on Saturday, May 2. The resolution was approved on Monday, May 4 by an overwhelming majority in the House. Pennsylvania House Resolution 481 recognizes the contributions African American baseball players have made to the game and acknowledges the significant impact the Negro Leagues had on the Civil Rights Movement nationwide.
Flick, an avid baseball fan, belongs to the Williamsport chapter of SABR, which is named in part after George W. Stovey, one of the best Black pitchers of the 19th century who was barred from playing in the major leagues because of the color of his skin. Flick credited SABR members in the Williamsport, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia chapters, including Rock Hoffman and Frank Collins, for suggesting the idea of the resolution. He said he wants to ensure players like Stovey receive the recognition they were long denied.
