Revision as of 15:28, 30 January 2019

Baseball statistics and guides have been a part of the sport since the early days. There have been a variety of publishers, focusing on a range of leagues and accomplishments.

In 2014 Sean Lahman assembled a list of guides available online, now restored at seanlahman.com.

I found some more guides that he didn't have listed, as well as some supplemental baseball material.
