January 5, 2007 Additions
I finally finished the 2006 awards voting. Sorry for the long delay. I added a slew of corrections from the SABR Biographical Committee newsletters (things like date of death and place of birth). I also added a set of leaderboards for Caught Stealing for the years we have it.
One other addition in the special batting is a column called AIR. This attempts to measure how beneficial a player's park and league were for them offensively. We basically look at the OPS+ of the league average batter (in that park) versus a historical average (post 1900) of .335 for OBP and .400 for slugging. Below, 100 means a more difficult than average setting and above 100 means an easier than average setting.
Also, the neutralize value has been adjusted down to 715 runs rather than 750 runs. This is closer to the historical average since 1900. With 750, I was getting a few complaints that all of the batters got better.
October 4, 2006 Additions
The 2006 data is here. We have Batting, Pitching, and Fielding stats for all of the players and transactions for 2006 as well. Right now the games scripts aren't setup yet for 2006, but we hope to have that done later this week.
July 28, 2006 Additions
Updated the transactions with the 2005 data. THANK YOU RETROSHEET!! Their update also included more info on the cost of sales and the date at which drafted players signed their contracts.
Added info about the 18 new Hall of Fame inductees.
Did a lot of work on the server, so you should have a much smoother experience now.
July 24, 2006 Additions
Wow a long time between updates.
I added Outs to the leaderboard list.
I added a similar player comparison tool for pitchers to go with the one for hitters. You'll be able to find this on the similar player lists on pitcher pages.
December 14, 2005 Additions
Fixing a lot of bugs.
Added IBB and BK to the pitching lines on team pages. Added WHIP to the pitching lines on player pages.
Added the top five in games played at each position for franchises at the very bottom of the page on the positional chart. Red Sox Position Chart.
Added a leaderboard for AB/HR
December 10, 2005 Additions
DONE!!.. well more or less. The transactions are not yet updated, but everything else is completed, I believe. Thank you for your patience.
Team pages now link to their uniform page on the Hall of Fame's Dressed to the Nines exhibit
Player pages now have a link to a program that will show how the player's uniforms have changed over time. For example, Rickey Henderson.

The only thing that I think I'm missing is transactions (unclear when completed), the linescores for the postseason games and the stats for the World Series. All of the awards are updated as are a number of other things.
There are a couple of new features. From team and franchise pages we now link to Baseball America's wonderful Executive database. They have front office personnel back to 1950. They have graciously allowed us to link to their individual pages, so you can now see who was in the front office when the Cubs traded away Lou Brock.
If you are using a modern browser, you will see some new effects and options on the player pages. We are using some Cascading Style Sheet effects, so if you are using Firefox, hovering over a line of stats (only on the player pages) will cause the background to change color. I think this makes it easier to read the lines.
Also, the player pages now have links called "Show/Hide Partial Seasons" next to the Heading above the Batting, Fielding and Pitching stats. For some players who are traded many times, the partial seasons can make it hard to track how they did from year-to-year, so by clicking on this you toggle the partial season stats from visible to hidden. This requires javascript to work. Try it with Todd Zeile.
Using the retrosheet transaction data, we have broken out draft data. This only will show players who have made it to the majors before 2004. Players who didn't sign or didn't/haven't made it out of the minors are not shown. (Red Sox drafts).
I also have a stack of bugs and updates to run through. Hopefully, fixing those will be BR's Christmas gift to you.
It is perfectly fine to Sponsor a page as a Christmas gift. I'm not sure how you wrap it, but it has been done.

I've updated all of the pages. The awards and postseason pages will be updated as soon as possible as the postseason progresses. The new transactions have not been updated and probably won't be until the end of the year or so.
The new debuts have been added to the site and they are now available for sponsorship. See our new sponsorship policy for an explanation of the pricing. Team sponsorships will be added following the postseason.
Get baseball stats on your Ipod. Sports Reference and IprepPress have teamed together for a download containing the 2004 and 2005 stats for your ipod.
The Baseball-Reference.com Bullpen has added hundreds of pages of new content. Contribute just a little bit of your knowledge and help make it the best source for non-statistical baseball history.
July 21, 2005 Additions
The BR Bullpen has launched. A collaborative encyclopedia for baseball, the bullpen, collects user's knowledge about baseball and presents it in an easy-to-use and edit format.
July 19, 2005 Additions
We've moved to a new server, so hopefully you are finding the pages a bit faster and you are not having any problems with dns settings.
BIG Thanks to Chuck Nobriga for helping us update our necrology data from 1999-2001. We also incorporated the most recent SABR biographical committee update.
The leaderboard area has a few more leaderboards including: most all-star games, most seasons played, and highest career and single-season salaries. Look towards the bottom.
The awards area now has a listing of all triple crown winners.
July 8, 2005 Additions
Sorry for the long delay between updates.
Thanks to Tom Ruane at RetroSheet, the transactional database has been updated through Feb. 2005.
Thanks to the SABR Biographical committee, we've updated a good deal of info along with states for Mexican players.
April 11, 2005 Additions
Added some new stats. Leaderboards for Strikeout to walk ratio and runs created. Runs Created and runs created per 27 outs added to the special batting player sections.
Home and road run scoring and home and road records added for each
team to the yearly league pages.
Created a BETA script for linking player names in a
piece of writing to Baseball-Reference pages.
You can now Search on nicknames and given names in addition to
the standard common name.
Single-season records now list the age of the player
when they set them.
Linked to retrosheet.org boxscores from the postseason
game linescores.
Corrected a few stray bugs: rounding in the computation of league
fielding percentage, the total games managed for a manager, tie games
and team win-loss streaks, and formatting issues.
Changed names for the Angels and Nationals.
Added leaderboards for At bats per strikeout.
OPS+ and ERA+ now appear on team pages and league pages.
For each season there is now an expanded Major League Leaderboard.
Defensive Efficiency is now added to the league pages.
Hall of Famers now have their own statistical register, including
one by position.
Multiple winners are now listed for each award.
Fixed a long standing annoyance. Players who are predominantly
batters no longer show their pitching stats first.
Leaderboards for award shares are now available.
Age-Based Leaderboards Find out who hit the
best before, during and after their age 36 year.
Singles have been added to
the career and yearly leaderboards and to the player pages.
Some odd rounding errors were fixed.
Ages have been added to the
manager pages.
Additional Awards added to the
player pages and to the awards pages.
The
multi-franchise script now allows you to sort the games played in
by the geometric mean.
The Baseball Travel Guide is now updated
with new information through the start of the 2005 season.
The postseason stats are now on the
postseason series and player pages. I still need to fill in
the series linescores.
a
Many, many page corrections and updates have been made. This data
is available at the Baseball-Databank.org.
On the league pages, the debut pages for individual years now allows you to sort by
games played,
age at debut, and
date of debut, in addition to the standard alphabetical ordering.
Died during this year and born during this year now include the date of death on the
player line.
You can now sponsor college
pages. Thank you for your generous support of
Baseball-Reference.com.
Some other behind the scenes changes were implemented to improve
uptime for the Oracle of Baseball.
You can now sponsor the schools
and universities pages.
We now have a Privacy Statement
and a website Website Terms of
Use.
The Frequently Asked Questions were updated.
Some new 2004 postseason data and 2004 awards data were added. But they are not yet
complete. LDS
and LCS
leaders are now on the webpage.
On team pages, you can now get the top 50 leaders.
Thank you for your patience. It took a bit of work, but we got
them into the DB and have rebuilt the site with the 2004 stats.
Please report any errors that you might find.
There are 20,000 plus pages on the site and I am not able to check
every page and every table, but with 100,000 eyes we can root out
problems fairly quickly.
We will also be working on sponsorships for the new players as
well. I will be opening all of these on November 1st. I'll be
following the guidelines when pricing these pages. I
am also going to hold off on sponsorships for the remaining playoff
teams until after the WS or after their series ends.
I will begin working on the postseason data shortly.
Not many other changes were made. I moved the pitching games
finished column next to saves. I also added corrections and
additional school data to the DB. There should be a lot more of this
over the next few months once the postseason is over.
Thank you very much for your support over the years. I hope that
Baseball-Reference can serve all of your needs for baseball statistics
and that you will support the work of this site by sponsoring a page
or two in the coming year.
Batter pages Similarity score
section now list all ten similar players for each year of their
career, not just the most similar by age.
More changes to the similarity comparison tool. Combined with the
above, you can now compare
the stats of any player's ten most similar players through any portion
of their career. Links to this are provided in the batter
similarity score sections.
Numerous corrections to the biographical data were
made as I synched my db with the latest reports from the SABR
Biographical committee.
The team streaks analyzer now
allows you to search for best streaks at the start of the season or at
the end of the season.
Similarity
comparison tool now allows you to project a player's career totals
using the results from his similar players. OPS+ has also been added
to this output. To access this for other players, go to their pages,
find the similarity scores, "compare stats" and then "Display Totals
for some age to the end of their career." One plus their age will give
the totals for the player's career so far along with the similar
player's career.
Corrected some issues with the schools data and with the fielding
data on the player pages. This just clarified some data that was
already there.
Collegiate Data has been added to many player pages and has been given its own
directory. As part of this, each school's cumulative career major league totals
for their alumni have been calculated. SABR.org's Collegiate Baseball
Committee is responsible for the accumulation of this data.
Player pages now contain final
game information to go along with corrected debut information, and
links to more information, such as who else played at a school, who
else was born on that day or in that year, who else died on that day
or in that year, and who else debuted or played their final game in
the same year.
Player fielding stats now contain
for range factor per game and range factor per nine innings (when
available). Before we mixed the two stats, but now we present both
for added clarity.
A new
similarity comparison tool is available. This allows you to look
at a player's similar players' career stats, and also compare
the stats for the remainder of their careers from any age on, and for
the beginning of their careers up to any age.
The Frivolities directory now contains a
counterpart to the birthday script
that allows you to see who died on a
particular date.
The sponsorship system has been streamlined
and (hopefully) clarified for our generous supporters.
The leagues oldest, youngest, and best paid players are now listed
on the league pages for each
season (salary data only goes back to 1985). Each of these data
now have their own leaderboard pages. These
leaderboard appearances now appear on the player pages as well.
I also bought a new
computer, so updates should occur on a more regular basis.
2003 Postseason data has arrived along
with expanded historical data thanks to Kevin of the
Baseball-Databank.org.
HBP and WP were added to the player pitching lines on player pages
and additional stats (WP, HBP, etc.) were added to the team pages as
well.
There is now a leaderboard entry for Sacrifice Flies.
In the bio directory added some new outputs to
sort places of birth and death by date and by place.
To the Frivolities directory, an output
showing where major leaguers were born over a variety of criteria was
added.
Redesigned the front page slightly for improved download speed.
The multi-franchise tool
now allows you to select players who played only for a franchise.
The travel guide was updated to reflect
changes in league affiliations and team movements.
Dozens of additional error corrections were made to the site as
well.
The 2003 stats are here!
All the rookie players and
managers and 2003 team pages are now available to sponsor.
The BR policy for new
sponsorship pages.
Please report any errors that you may find and they will be
corrected as soon as possible.
In the interest of speed, I was not able to incorporate the
postseason, games finished, game logs, or transactions for the 2003
season. These will be added as the off-season continues. Thank you
for your patience.
First, this is not to announce the launch of the 2003 stats. Work
is continuing on that and I hope to have them done by Nov. 1.
Second, thank you to all of the new and renewing sponsors on
Baseball-Reference.com. Your support keeps me chugging along on this
site and is greatly appreciated. Many folks have asked me about the
new pages (mainly Jose Reyes). My policy on new and expiring pages
and a list of those pages is here:
The most important addition is the incorporation of the RetroSheet transactional database.
Tom Ruane and others at Retrosheet have made available to all a large
listing of transactions from 1901 to 2002. This includes (for major
leaguers) draft picks, signing information, waivers, trades and some
other things as well. This data is included on a player, team and
league level. Feedback on how I should use this wonderful resource is
welcome. (Thanks again to Retrosheet for the work they do!)
Thanks to people like Derek Adair and others, the site now has
some new stats for pitchers and catchers: batters faced, games
finished, runs allowed, wild pitches and hit batsmen (in some places)
and passed balls for catchers.
In the frivolities section, a new tool allows you to find the
players who played for any pair, trio or quartet of franchises. For
instance, you can find everyone who has played for the Dodgers,
Yankees and Giants, or even the New York Giants and San Francisco
Giants along with a summary of their stats while playing for each
team. Also, the head-to-head matchup tool has some new features as
well.
In the bio directory, there is now a series of pages listing the
location of death divided by state and country. Also, a new printout
allows you to view the players sorted either by name or by city.
There have also been countless small corrections and fixes
proposed by users and found by organizations like SABR.
Thank you for your support of this site. If you have data or
money you would like to donate please visit our Donation page.
Suggestions are always welcome and can be sent either by replying
to this e-mail or going to our feedback page.
I hope to have complete fielding stats soon along with the 2000
postseason.
This is an attempt at a complete listing of all the features the site contains.
