A reader asked about the most shutouts in a single day of major league play. Brushing off the db, these are the most we found.

Progressive Leaders & Records for Stolen Bases - Baseball-Reference.com

One of the features I really like on the site are the progressive leaderboard pages that give you a view of the record holders for a particular stat over the years.  I was noticing that the current active steals leader was just at 432 steals which seems very low to me.  Scanning this list you can see that this is the lowest total for the active leader going back to pre-Maury Wills and the station-to-station 50's and early 1960's.

Year-by-Year Per-Game Batting Stats

We've got lots of things on the site so they can often get buried in the pure volume of things to look at. What I linked to here is the per-game statistical totals for the entire major leagues. As you can see the home runs and scoring has tailed off a bit from the earlier torrid pace. Walks are way up. We are still well off the levels seen in 1999 and 2000.

We have similar outputs for the AL and the NL.
