Dennis is being honored for his book The Rise of Milwaukee Baseball: The Cream City from Midwestern Outpost to the Major Leagues, 1859-1901.
Dennis, along with the other two winners, will be honored at SABR's upcoming national convention in Atlanta, August 5-8.
SABR, for those who may not be familiar, is the pre-eminent organization for baseball researchers. The Society's mission is to foster the study of baseball, to assist in developing and maintaining the history of the game, to facilitate the dissemination of baseball research and to stimulate interest in baseball.
This is a tremendous honor, given to a very worthy recipient. I am deeply honored to have Dennis as a contributor. His devotion to preserving Milwaukee's baseball history, from the momentous to the whimsical, is second to none. In particular, his dedication to Milwaukee's unsung heroes enriches all our understanding of just how special that history is.
The Rise of Milwaukee Baseball: The Cream City from Midwestern Outpost to the Major Leagues, 1859-1901 is available directly from the publisher, from the Wisconsin Historical Society, or on Amazon. I urge you all to check it out, and join me in wishing Dennis the heartiest of congratulations.
