SABR announces 2022 Henry Chadwick Award recipients

SABR is pleased to announce the 2022 recipients of the Henry Chadwick Award, established to honor the game’s great researchers — historians, statisticians, annalists, and archivists — for their invaluable contributions to making baseball the game that links America’s present with its past.

The 2022 recipients of the Henry Chadwick Award are:

James E. Brunson III, author of a three-volume magnum opus, Black Baseball, 1858-1900: A Comprehensive Record of the Teams, Players, Managers, Owners and Umpires, and a longtime scholar of the Negro Leagues.
Jane Leavy, journalist, feature writer, and author of biographies on Sandy Koufax, Mickey Mantle, and Babe Ruth that place her in the top echelon of 21st-century baseball writers.
Daniel Okrent, author of The Ultimate Baseball Book and Nine Innings, and co-creator of Rotisserie League Baseball, which launched a multi-billion dollar fantasy sports industry.
