Welcome to the Branch Rickey Award

Created by the Rotary Club of Denver, the Branch Rickey Award is the home of the Baseball Humanitarians Hall of Fame recognizing professionals in Major League baseball for exceptional community service.

We congratulate Trevor Hoffman, closing pitcher for the San Diego Padres and MLB record holder for most saves, on his selection as the 2008 Branch Rickey Award recipient.

Join us for the presentation of the 2009 Branch Rickey Award on Saturday, November 14 at the Marriott City Center Hotel in downtown Denver.

Tickets start at $200. Tables start at $2500 for 10 tickets.

"It's not the honor you take with you, but the heritage you leave behind." - Branch Rickey
