SABR awards for school papers

I know a lot of Baseball Mogul fans are in college. Or high school. Or middle school.

And you have an interest in baseball. So I'm posting this link to awards that SABR (The Society for American Baseball Research) gives out each year. You can of course submit a paper that you wrote for school.

The Jack Kavanagh Memorial Youth Baseball Research Award

The Jack Kavanagh Memorial Youth Baseball Research Award was established in 1999 by the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) in recognition of Kavanagh’s writing and research achievements and his contributions to SABR. The Award was presented for the first time at the SABR National Convention in West Palm Beach, Florida in June, 2000.

The Kavanagh Award may be presented each year for either a research presentation given at the SABR National Convention (papers must accompany any oral presentation), or for a research paper that is submitted to the awards committee between the end of one SABR Convention and no later that June 1 of the following year by a researcher in grades 6-8 (middle school category), grades 9-12 (high school category), or undergraduates 22 and under (College Category).

The awards committee will consist of members appointed each year by the education committee chair. The winner will receive a plaque honoring their achievement and the following, according to his/her category:

College ($200 prize, plus 1 year membership)

H.S. ($200 prize, plus 1 year membership)

Middle School ($100 prize, plus 2 year membership)

Additionally, the winning entry shall be published on the SABR Website and may be published in either The National Pastime or the Baseball Research Journal. All Finalists (3) shall receive one-year SABR memberships.
