Sadly, Cliff Kachline passed away in July of 2010. He was one of SABR's original founders. In his later years, he spent the winter months in Big Canoe, Georgia with his daughter and son-in-law. Cliff joined the staff of the Sporting News when he was still a teenager during WWII and worked there for 24 years. In 1969, Cliff became the Historian at the National Baseball Hall of Fame, a position he held for 13 years. In 1984, he became SABR's first full-time Executive Director. Cliff will be missed by everyone in SABR.
