2004 winner Jamie Moyer

The Branch Rickey Award was given annually to an
individual in Major League Baseball (MLB) in recognition of
his exceptional community service from 1992 to 2014. The
award was named in honor of former player and
executive Branch Rickey, who broke the major league color
barrier by signing Jackie Robinson, while president
and general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Rickey also
created the Knothole Gang, a charity that allowed children
to attend MLB games. The award, created by the Rotary
Club of Denver in 1991, was first awarded to Dave
Winfield in 1992 at their annual banquet. Each winner
received a bronze sculpture of a baseball player measuring
24 inches (610 mm), named "The Player", designed
by sculptor George Lundeen. A larger version of "The
Player", standing 13 feet (4.0 m) tall, was erected at Coors
Field in Denver. (Full list...)
