I won't speak for Sean, but this message contains the "most wanted"
missing data (as of Jan, 2004):
I noticed that SH and SF allowed data seems to be missing from the pitching tables. Was this omission intentional (or did I misread the documentation)? While...
... I don't believe it was intentional. I don't believe the data is known, and the columns were added with the intention that it would be added in the future....
... That's odd. My database has this information and I believe I got it originally from the 1994 TB CD, which I think was also the source for Sean's data. ...
... Ahh, I didn't think we had SH and SF columns, but I was too lazy to check and took Tom's note to say they were in there. We have never had these columns,...

"...pitcher doubles, triples allowed, stolen bases and caught stealing? catcher wild pitches? batting reached on catcher interference" I will just say yes,...
... Thank you Tom. We will certainly take you up on the offer. Sincerely, Sean Forman Baseball Stats! http://www.Baseball-Reference.com/ Baseball Analysis!...

Tom, Thank you again for the offer. I think we should start out small and get things tied together. In fielding, we could use Catcher SB, CS, and Catcher...
... What about SB and CS for pitchers? By the way, something I keep track on Retrosheet is WP for catchers and passed balls for pitchers. ... What's the rule...
... Tom, you and I are among the handfuls (I think) that looks at this. If I was the Dr Evil of baseball, I would certainly add it. Not that we're going to do...
... handsful, I think ... I agree. If the NA Statistics Project were rerun today, it would be worthwhile to compile these disaggregated statistics. As it is,...
