Join SABR on August 13 for inaugural Founders’ Day celebration
JULY 30, 2025 — All baseball fans are invited to join SABR for our inaugural Founders’ Day celebration from 7:30-9:00 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, August 13, 2025.
A panel discussion will be held on Zoom looking back at SABR history with Tom Hufford — a founding member of SABR — Mark Armour, Dick Cramer, and moderator Neal Traven. Hufford was selected as the winner of this year’s Bob Davids Award, SABR’s highest honor; Armour and Traven are also past recipients. Cramer and Armour have been honored with the Henry Chadwick Award.
A Founders’ Day Award presentation will recognize a SABR member with a record of longtime and meaningful service to a regional chapter or research committee.
SABR was founded in August 1971 at the National Baseball Hall of Fame Library in Cooperstown, New York, where 16 “statistorians” led by L. Robert Davids gathered to form a new organization dedicated to baseball research. Click here to learn more about SABR’s founding members.
