accomplished members, honoring them at the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. The BBWAA Career Excellence Award is the most prestigious award for a baseball writer.</p> <p class="p1">When the award was created, it was named for J.G. Taylor Spink, the longtime editor and publisher of The Sporting News. Spink was the inaugural winner of the award.</p> <p class="p1">In 2021, the BBWAA voted to remove Spink鈥檚 name from the award because of his role in supporting segregated baseball.</p> <table
