SABR Deadball Era Committee
- SABR Deadball Era Committee
The Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) Deadball Era Committee is dedicated to the research and analysis of baseball history between 1901 and 1919. The Deadball Era includes some of baseball's most colorful personalities, including Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, and Walter Johnson. During the Deadball Era, the American and National Leagues were formed; Babe Ruth made his debut as a pitcher; and the Black Sox scandal in 1919 reshaped baseball in the 1920s.
The Committee was formed in 2001 and has grown to be one of SABR's largest. Tom Simon served as the Committee's first Chair, and David Jones succeeded him in 2003. In 2006, the Committee published "Deadball Stars of the American League," the second in a two-volume series containing nearly 200 original biographies of contemporary players. The Committee remains the largest group of people interested in the study of baseball during this period.
