SABR : SABR Announces 2011 Chadwick Award Recipients
I am deeply honored to be included in a group with such giants in baseball research and history as David Neft, Pete Palmer, Bill James, and J.G. Spink. Their books line the walls of my office and without them none of what we've done would be possible.
Baseball-Reference.com is now more than 11 years old, so there are many, many people who have had a hand in its success, but I'd especially like to thank Sean Lahman, Gary Gillette, the RetroSheet gang (Dave, David, Tom, Clem, and the remarkable volunteers), SABR (and my many partners, contributors, and friends there), my friends and early collaborators Don Malcolm, Jim Furtado and Greg Spira, Justin, Doug, Neil and Jay at S-R, and also Tim Berners-Lee, Michael Widenius, and Larry Wall (I'll let you look them up). And of course, my wife Sylvia who I know spent many nights wondering, "What on earth is he doing staying up until 2am again?" and "Will he ever finish his dissertation?", but never stopped being supportive or encouraging of this unusual course we've charted together.

Congratulations to Sean! Well deserved. I have been using this site almost since it's inception and it just keeps getting better.

This is going to end up being a love-in, I'm sure, but a hearty congratulation for a well-deserved honour.

Congratulations. You actually deserve a Nobel, but this will do for a start.

Congrats, Sean! You really deserve it!

Sean, I definitely agree with your award; in my mind, at least, your Cooperstown series was "service above and beyond the Call of Duty". Keep them rockets {literary, of course} flying!

Well done, Sean, and well-deserved - congratulations!

Congratulations. Just like everyone else says, well-deserved. This site has been a great source

Congratulations, Sean.
Well deserved, and that's one hell of a class you're in.

Congratulations Sean. As a kid I spent years looking at the backs of baseball cards. Now I spend time daily on your site. Thanks.

First, WOW! Second, you absolutely deserve it! What a class, but this site, your baby, is first class! I use daily, probably more than any internet site. The wealth of information in one organized spot is awe-inspiring! You absolutely deserve the honor!
