When I look at the league fielding page for the 1986 NL, the list of players excludes outfielders.

You just put retrosheet out of business. And I am making a wicked list with some of the catchers' stats

Srul,

This should be fixed tomorrow. It was excluding guys who played another position on the field.

I noticed that I-Rod does not appear on the top of the active leaders in CS, nor near the top of the career leaders in CS. You may want to look at that.

Kudos.

Can you get fielding data into the box scores for the 1920s and 1930s (and 1940s once Retrosheet finishes those two NL years it's missing)? The data are in Retrosheet's versions of these box scores.

Apropos of nothing, but is there any way to add the "starting pitcher faced" in the "schedule & results" section? As of now it shows the winner, loser, and save (if applicable). Would be nice to see which starters the team faces in a quick and easy fashion.

Some of the year-by-year leaders for individual OF positions are only going back to 1995, and others are back to '54. This may just be me, but I find the layout of the Fielding Leaderboards page a little hard to read. It might be easier if you showed separation between the positions, or even just listed the position first (eg "2B - Errors Committed" rather than "Errors Committed as 2B"). As is, it's kind of hard to find what you're looking for. Seems like leaders for OF should include all of history, even the years when you do have stats by individual OF position.

And double plays.
