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

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.

Join us for the presentation of the 2008 Branch Rickey Award on Saturday, November 15 at the Marriott City Center Hotel in downtown Denver.
