Dan Joseph’s Pete Reiser biography wins 2022 SABR Ron Gabriel Award

SABR is pleased to announce that Dan Joseph’s Baseball’s Greatest What If: The Story and Tragedy of Pistol Pete Reiser, published by Sunbury Press, has been selected as the winner of the Ron Gabriel Award in 2022.

Joseph has worked for more than 20 years at the Voice of America, most as an editor in VOA’s central newsroom, running the Africa desk. He has written books on Lou Gehrig, Last Ride of the Iron Horse, and other subjects. He is also one of the youngest people alive to have attended a Pittsburgh Pirates World Series game.

“The selection panel was particularly impressed by the depth of the book’s research and how Joseph’s work sheds new light on a prominent figure in Brooklyn Dodgers lore,” said John McMurray, chair of the Ron Gabriel Award committee.

The Ron Gabriel Award annually honors the author(s) of the best research, published or unpublished, on the subject of the Brooklyn Dodgers completed during the preceding calendar year.

SABR Local Grants update: Rickwood Field Chapter

In 2022, SABR’s Rickwood Field Chapter in Alabama and the Friends of Rickwood — a nonprofit organization that serves as the official caretaker of the historic 112-year-old ballpark in Birmingham — received a $2,500 Local Grant from SABR to update a public mural highlighting the championships won by the Birmingham Barons, Birmingham Black Barons, and Birmingham A’s.

The mural was completed in time for SABR’s recent Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference, which was held on June 2-4 in Birmingham.

Rickwood Field opened in 1910 as the first concrete and steel baseball park in the Deep South. The park was built by Birmingham Barons owner and industrialist, A.H. “Rick” Woodward, who recruited Connie Mack of the Philadelphia Athletics to assist him in the design. The ballpark was modeled after Forbes Field in Pittsburgh. Rickwood served as the home of the Barons (1910-61, 1964-65, and 1981-87), the Black Barons (1920-62), and the A’s (1966-75). The ballpark currently hosts more than 100 baseball games per year as players for colleges, high schools, and amateur organizations enjoy playing on the field. The National Park Service recognizes Rickwood Field as being America’s oldest professional ballpark.

Researchers with the Rickwood Field SABR Chapter have confirmed that 181 members of the Baseball Hall of Fame appeared at Rickwood for games. The ballpark has also been used as a filming location for several movies including Cobb, Soul of the Game, and 42.

The ballpark is owned by the City of Birmingham, but the Friends of Rickwood are charged with fundraising to preserve the park and restore Rickwood to its former glory. Visit rickwood.com to learn more.
