Sioux Falls, SD – The Sioux Falls Canaries are proud to announce the return of The King, as Jabari Henry has signed with the club for the upcoming season. One of the most accomplished players in team and league history, Henry returns to Sioux Falls as the all-time leader in virtually every major offensive category in franchise history and the all-time home run leader in the American Association.
A cornerstone of the Canaries lineup for years, Henry’s name sits at the top of the organization’s record book in hits (641), doubles (118), home runs (161), runs batted in (504), and walks (448).

Throughout his Canaries career, Henry has delivered countless unforgettable moments for fans at Sioux Falls Stadium. From towering home runs to clutch late-inning hits, the veteran slugger has been the heartbeat of the Birds’ offense and one of the most feared hitters in the lineup every time he steps to the plate.
“Jabari Henry is simply one of the greatest players to ever wear a Canaries uniform,” said Canaries manager Mike Meyer. “When you look at the record book and see his name at the top of so many categories, it tells the story. He’s been the face of our offense for years, and bringing him back is a huge addition for our club and for our fans. Not only is Jabari the most prolific home run hitter in league history, but he is also one of the finest people I’ve ever had the privilege to know. His impact on our organization has gone far beyond the field. He brings energy, joy, and genuine heart to everything he does.”
