George Sweatt passed away in 1983, but his athletic legacy lives on. He was added to the Kansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2016 and the PSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2005. George and other black athletes of the time are the subject of many books and essays. Photos of George and his teams can be seen on display at the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. Locally, George Sweatt Memorial Park is a baseball field in Humboldt, Kansas, George's hometown. Pittsburg State University also has a scholarship named in his honor.
