On the databank homepage, a number of tables seem to be missing from the most up-to-date release, in both the CSV and SQL archives. They do exist in the...
The DoB entry in the databank is incorrect for Mike Mattimore (ID 8983). It's currently set as August 1858, 1859. Obviously, this is incorrect. Retrosheet...

I've been doing some work with fielding leaders (career and single season). For various reasons, I'm treating outfield as one position. The separate LF/CF/RF...

I'm going to set up the poll so that the e-mails aren't visible. That way we won't be able to see people's votes. I'll probably set it up tonight. -- ...

Still accepting votes. http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/baseball-databank/surveys?id=12159386 -- Sincerely, Sean Forman Baseball Stats!...
It seems to me that linear regression might have a place somewhere in this. I'm not sure how, but regression inherently says let everything else be equal. ...
Probably a Generalized Linear model, as the constant variance assumption is simply not going to be met. Sounds like an interesting project....do the...
When you do park adjustments, it's important to distinguish between sample data and true rates. So, in the case where you have 0 HR hit in the home games, and...
THANKS. I should admit that I originally meant to send this email to Tom off-list, and accidently sent it to baseball-databank (I'm an idiot!) And, since I...

Congratulations to the new board members. I voted for all the winners, so not quite making it into the final group stings a little less. Good luck. On 21 Oct...
... You are sort of right. If let's say the NL avg park has 9 runs scored, and Coors, in 2006, had 9 runs as well. What do you do? You would be tempted to...
... Tom, Do you think this is true for runs, whose frequency in each game is much greater than for home runs? If the question shows that I don't understand the...
Paul: From my prospective, runs or OBP and SLG are problematic only in figuring out how to adjust for "level of competition" (team A plays the Cardinals 30...
... Well, the true answer is always "yes". The question really is how much do you have to regress. I seem to remember doing this once, and the amount to...
Eric explains it well. Yes, that's exactly what I do. I've done this historically using the retrosheet game-by-game data, and made further adjustments based ...
