Help us BRING IT HOME and make 2022 a historic success for SABR!

When SABR’s story began just over 50 years ago, our founders would have found it difficult to believe how respected and prolific the organization would one day become. Tom Hufford, one of the “Cooperstown 16” founding members in 1971, said they thought they might be able to find 50 people to join their new collective. Today, SABR’s membership is at an all-time high, including more than 7,200 of the world’s most passionate baseball researchers, historians, journalists, statisticians, and fans.

As SABR continues towards our vision of becoming the essential community for the world of baseball, it is gifts from members like you who sustain our organization, allowing us to produce wonderful baseball research and programming that reaches people everywhere.

You can support SABR’s Bring it Home Campaign by making a gift of $150 or more by December 31, 2022. We will use your best gift of $150, $300, $500, or $1,000 to boost SABR’s general operations.

Contributions from generous donors like you are vital in helping SABR maintain core mission programming, develop new initiatives, and ensure affordable membership access:

• Support for Core Programming: From the Women in Baseball Conference, Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference, and 19th Century Conference to our National Convention and the Analytics Conference, SABR events bring the baseball community together while highlighting every wide-ranging facet of the game. More than 10 SABR books will be published this year, and SABR members receive free electronic copies of all of them. That is in addition to our three annual journals and an expanding digital publishing output, which this year featured in-depth series on the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson’s debut and Baseball and the Supreme Court. Your donations help make these events possible and accessible, while fueling the productivity and development of our publishing efforts.
• Support for New Initiatives: SABR continues to pursue projects that encourage baseball research and participation. In 2022, we introduced the Local Grants Program, giving back to our local chapters for their important work in their own communities. New virtual programming, like our Ballpark Figures monthly series, is free to members and showcases diverse voices from across the baseball landscape. The SABR Analytics Certification program, an online learning curriculum geared towards both introductory and advanced knowledge acquisition in baseball analytics, was also launched this year. Your donations allow SABR to maintain its relevance and respectability in an ever-changing environment.
• Support for Affordable Membership Access: While membership has reached an all-time high, including more student and young professional members than ever before, dues have remained static for over a decade. Your donations are crucial to keeping SABR membership affordable for all, a critical aspect of fulfilling our vision to become the essential community for the world of baseball.
