Baseball Landmarks Research Committee
SABR members comprise a special breed of individuals, drawn to out-of-the-way places to spy an old ballpark, visit a historical marker, or pay their respects at the grave of a late ballplayer. Until now, there had not been a comprehensive checklist or map to document the staggering array of baseball-related sites located across North America. The Baseball Landmarks Committee endeavors to fill this need with the SABR Baseball Map:

What will I find on the SABR Baseball Map?
- BALLPARKS – Active Major League, MiLB, Independent Minor League, and Summer Collegiate Leagues (categorized by level)
- STATUES – Statues, busts, sculptures of players, managers/coaches, broadcasters, owners
- MARKERS – Historical markers and monuments for people, places, events

What won’t I find on the SABR Baseball Map?
- NOTHING TO SEE – Locations, such as former ballparks, that have no remaining physical structure or marker
- NO CONNECTION – Parks or ballfields simply named after ballplayers with no additional connection to the location (i.e., played there as a youth) or for which no plaque or statue was dedicated; sites involving people associated with baseball but with no true baseball connection at the site
- RESTAURANTS – Most restaurants named after or owned by players
How can I use the SABR Baseball Map?
