Re: [baseball-databank] baseball-databank and baseball1

Of the tables that intersects, I would have to say the data is identical.
I provided Lahman (and this group) with an Access script that loads all
the baseball-databank csv files directly into Access. I will presume that
Sean did not change it.

Now, Forman also provides additional tables, like STATS/BIS xref IDs.
Whether Lahman also loads those (or others) into his database, I didn't
check.

In any case, Lahman can provide the final word if he's around.

... Tom is correct. The underlying data is identical. The output formats are what's different. Sean Forman and I formed the baseball databank to help...
