Since 2002, historically-minded members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) have been researching, writing, and editing comprehensive biographies of everyone who has ever played or managed in Major League Baseball.
The SABR Baseball Biography Project is well on its way to achieving its stated goal. Thus far, an all-volunteer corps of SABR members has published peer-reviewed biographies of 3,714 of the more than 18,000 players who have appeared in a Major League game.
I have taken great pleasure in participating in the SABR Biography project over the last three years.
