ShareThisSomething You Can Do with PI
I got a new column up at The Hardball Times today that would've been a nightmare to reserach if I didn't have a PI account.
I looked up 147 different splits for every team from 1957-onward. Without a PI account, the only way to do it would be to go team-by-team, looking up the splits page for every farking one of those 1,270 teams.
PI makes it infinately easier. Go to 1957's standing page (either AL or NL, makes no difference). Go to where it says splits and choose Major Leagues. Once there, pick the splits you like, and click the red text. BANG - how each team did by that split appears. Now you can move it into excel so much easier.
(Sadly, for myself, I started the research last year before the league splits had the red text feature that gave you all team splits, and I had to get NL offensive splits by going team-by-team. TRUST ME when I say the Play Index makes this sort of thing tremendously easier).
