In Memoriam: Fay Vincent
In the introduction to his memoir, Fay Vincent wrote, “Baseball is in the public domain. The game is ours.”
A longtime SABR member who served as the eighth Commissioner of Baseball from 1989 to 1992, Francis T. Vincent Jr. spent his career and public life after baseball encouraging those in the game to live up to those words. Vincent died at the age of 86 on February 1 in Vero Beach, Florida. Vincent’s brief and turbulent tenure as Commissioner was marked by a variety of thorny issues, starting with the interruption of the 1989 World Series by the Loma Prieta earthquake that struck the San Francisco Bay area. He also contended with labor relations, expansion, TV superstations, and the banishment from baseball of Yankees owner George Steinbrenner and pitcher Steve Howe.
Vincent stayed involved with baseball after he left the Commissioner’s Office. He joined SABR in 2005 and became an invaluable supporter of the Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference and other programs over the next two decades. He also spent several years conducting videotaped interviews with scores of prominent baseball figures, including Marvin Miller, Buck O’Neil, Yogi Berra, Frank Robinson, and Larry Doby. Vincent’s oral history interviews — some of which he graciously allowed SABR to make available online in the SABR Oral History Collection — were the focus of his three books.

By-Laws change proposed for special election beginning on February 19
The SABR Board of Directors recommends adoption of a new bylaw intended to avoid conflicts of interest in board service in a special election that will begin on February 19, 2025.
More specifically, the change is intended to avoid situations where board members, whether intentionally or not, might have access to information that could be useful to another competing organization, or might be unable to deliberate in the best interests of SABR due to their relationship with another organization.
An online voting ballot will be sent out from tellers@sabr.org to all eligible SABR voters on February 19. The voting period will remain open until March 5.
