In Memoriam: Hank Aaron, who died on Friday at the age of 86, was a brilliant all-around superstar for 23 seasons with the Atlanta Braves, enduring racist threats off the field as he was surpassing MLB’s most iconic home run record on the field.

We are saddened to learn of the death of Henry Aaron, 86, an Atlanta Braves legend and one of baseball’s most iconic figures. His prodigious power and grace during his quest to break Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record in 1974 transcended the game.

Negro Leagues great Josh Gibson was born on this date in 1911, and we're excited to unveil this special cover image of our new SABR Baseball Research Journal, designed by Gary Joseph Cieradkowski! Our cover story by Alan Cohen explores all of the home runs that Gibson hit while playing in ballparks like Forbes Field, Griffith Stadium, and others used by segregated white major league teams.

The new Baseball Research Journal was sent out today as an e-book edition to all SABR members who signed up to receive a digital subscription, and the print edition should be showing up in your mailboxes soon. We hope this one is worth the wait!

If you're interested in receiving future editions of the Baseball Research Journal, we encourage you to become a SABR member today. All baseball fans are welcome to join at https://sabr.org/join

Commissioner Rob Manfred announced Wednesday that MLB is officially recognizing the major-league status of the Negro Leagues.

“We are thrilled that Major League Baseball has taken this step,” SABR Chief Executive Officer Scott Bush said. “This acknowledgment is consistent with the tremendous work done by many researchers who have championed the study of Black baseball and helped shine a light on these deserving players and teams from the Negro Leagues.”

SABR recently established a task force to evaluate how to better integrate Negro Leagues records, stats, and stories into SABR’s publications, databases, and future research projects.
