Timeline
- 2024
"1936 - IRS figures show that Branch Rickey was the highest-paid professional in Major League Baseball at $49,470." - 2023
"Robinson agrees a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Dodgers, whose general manager, Branch Rickey, personally recruited Robinson from the Negro Leagues." - 2022
"(2) 1965 - While giving a speech in Columbia, MO, Branch Rickey collapses and dies a few days short of his 84th birthday." - 2020
"Which NFL owner, G.M., or coach will be this moment’s Branch Rickey?" - 2018
"As the years have gone by, Branch Rickey has mostly been reduced to the man who signed Jackie Robinson and told him, "I'm looking for a ballplayer with guts enough not to fight back." - 2017
"And that's thanks to Allie May Schmidt's inspired decision to create cardinal centerpieces with cardboard and twine for an event featuring then-GM Branch Rickey in 1921." - 2016
"Branch Rickey of the Dodgers had approached Irvin about signing with the club in 1946, a year before Robinson made his official debut." - 2015
"Way too hard to make any predictions as to whether they will, but a couple of the most well-known names are Wes Ferrell (who pitched for 15 seasons and finished second in AL MVP voting in 1935 with Boston), Sam Breadon (an early Cardinals owner who hired Branch Rickey and created the blueprint for the modern farm system), slick-fielding shortstop Marty Marion (1944 NL MVP with the Cardinals), first baseman Frank McCormick (1940 NL MVP with the Reds) and right-hander Bucky Walters (who won the 1939 NL MVP award with the Reds)." - 2014
"Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo was in Denver on Friday to accept the 23rd Annual Branch Rickey Award for humanitarian service."
