New Baseball Database
Unlike the fantastic http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/ which lets you look at things the way a techie would look at it, here’s a season-level query website that uses… wait for it… english words to access baseball data. For example, I entered this:
who steals most since 1969
and I got this:
http://www.enth.com/Home.aspx?q=who+steals+most+since+1969
It’s still in beta, so don’t expect too much. But it delivers on what it’s trying to deliver on.
Tom, I don’t think you praise this system enough. Look (http://www.enth.com/Home.aspx?q=who+had+the+highest+ops+in+a+season+between+1970+and+1980+with+a+minimum+400+PA)
how specific you can get. I think you can expect that much.
