There are a few out there. Here's one:

And you can quote Adler's book as well.

There's also the Retrosheet database:
http://tangotiger.net/wiki/index.php?title=Retrosheet_Database

And there are also tutorials around as to how to use that DB as well, if
you are going to be going there.

Finally, there's the PITCHf/x (Gameday) database and tutorial here:

I can think of at least a few more tutorials out there that I've seen in
the past year.
