This paper reviews the spectroscopy and decay of B hadrons at the Tevatron.
We discuss the spectroscopy of excited B states (B**, Bs**) and the observation
of the Sigma_b baryon at the Tevatron. The second part of this review discusses
the decays of B hadrons and measurements of branching fractions. We focus on
charmless two-body decays of B->hh.Comment: Contribution submitted to the proceedings of the Conference on Heavy

The authors review recent results on heavy quark physics focusing on Run II measurements of B hadron spectroscopy and decay at the Tevatron. A wealth of new B physics measurements from CDF and D0 has been available. These include the spectroscopy of excited B states (B**, B**{sub s}) and the observation of the {Sigma}{sub b} baryon. The discussion of the decays of B hadrons and measurements of branching fractions focuses on charmless two-body decays of B {yields} h{sup +}h{sup -}. They report several new B{sub s}{sup 0} and {Lambda}{sub b}{sup 0} decay channels
