Save the date! 2026 SABR Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference to be held in Memphis
Save the date! SABR’s 26th annual Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference will be held on Thursday, June 18 to Sunday, June 21, 2026, in Memphis, Tennessee.
All baseball fans are welcome to attend. Registration information will be available at SABR.org/malloy in early 2026.
The Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference promotes activities to enhance scholarly, educational, and literary objectives. Since 1998, the event has been the only symposium dedicated exclusively to the examination and promotion of Black baseball history. The conference is open to baseball and history fans of all ages. Each year, monies are targeted to donate books to schools or libraries; raise funds for the Negro Leagues Baseball Grave Marker Project; and award scholarships to high school seniors in a nationwide essay contest and an annual art contest.
The Negro Leagues Committee is one of SABR’s original committees, formed in 1971. It has continued to preserve and highlight the contributions of African-American players in baseball history.
