Craig, Thanks for pointing this out. It looks like there were three official errors in the runs scored column that day. McInnis should have been credited with...
Craig, There are thousands of such discrepancies for all of those pre-1960's seasons. Retrosheet is undertaking a means to categorize all such discrepancies,...
On July 5th, 1920 in the second game, both Retrosheet and BR.com list Stuffy McInnis with a line of 4 0 1 1 but hitting a home run. All the dailies I can find...
I'm a newbie here with an interest in splits (l/r, home/away especially). I read somewhere long ago that somebody was working on compiling l/r splits from...
I just went through the SchoolsPlayers file and updated it. I added about 220 missing players, most of whom made their debuts in the past couple of seasons....
Slightly off subject from just data, but I think many members of this group might be interested - An interview I conducted with sabermetric pioneer Craig...
Now that I have my question answered, here is the data I can provide. I am trying to compute Win Shares using the Data-Bank DB. There are statistics required...
... No idea. If David has his own database, that's fine, but that's his own thing. You're right about the difference between zero values and null values. I...
I am still curious as to why the database that David linked to is not the current Data-Bank database. I'm relatively new here. Can someone clue me in? As to...
I downloaded the DB and I'm impressed. Not only are the gaps filled in, but many other statistics not available in the regular DB are present. But this leads...

Paul, Download by version of the baseball databank database: http://www.mediafire.com/?newmuztnwww All available incomplete data has been filled in. You should...
For a project I have required data that is either unavailable or incomplete in the Data-Bank DB. To make up the gaps, I have generated some of it from...
I was looking at the 1890 data and I ran into the oddest discrepancy between the Data-Bank DB and the STATS All-Time Major League Sourcebook. In the National...
I have worked up the data and passed it on to Rod Nelson to get player IDs. Can't hurt to have a build with this data in it, can it? Thanks, Maury Brown ...

Hi, all: I've been checking the master table and have found, that according to MLB. . Bryan Augenstein's (446248/augenbr01) birth city is Sebastian not ...
Sean, I just wanted to show you what I'm doing with my trades and contracts table. First when a transaction occurs (trade, signing, release) it's recorded in a...
So it seems the BDB database has some NULL values for various things, like Babe Ruth's totals for SF. My question is: why? Why not have them as 0? I end up...
Maury: I think you're correct. Originally, I believe the USA Today salary info (back to 1987?) came FROM baseball-db (actually via baseball-db from Doug...
