Baseball Guides

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.

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

John Thorn has a nice two part look at the guides: Part 1 and Part 2, and an excellent overview Baseball Guides Galore.
