I'm not sure I understand the problem.  The player_id in the bdb is not
the same as the player_id on b-r.com.  Indeed, there is a b-r.com id in
the Master table.  I presume if you look there, it might resolve whatever
issue you are seeing?

Any chance we could get doubles and triples allowed by pitchers in the 2009
release?

Is that information being stored for pitchers?

Thanks, Sean!

FWIW, the voter whose first-place MVP vote went to Cabrera was from

Do you really need to wait :-). When I was putting together the 2009 Retrosheet
release last week, I toyed with the idea of simply pre-announcing that Mauer and
Pujols were the 2009 MVPs. I eventually decided not to (figuring we could end up
embarrassed if a majority of the AL award voters came from Detroit), but it was
something I did consider.

Sean,

Coincidentally enough I have an article slated to run in THT tomorrow that discusses how to use the Baseball Databank. Would you have a problem with me saying that the latest update is expected soon after the awards voting is finished?

MLB.com codes *are* MLBAM codes.  Sometimes you hear "Elias player ID",
but those are different.
