Welcome, Brian Cashman!

Baseball Graphs is dedicated to the better use and communication of baseball statistics. Below, you'll find excerpts from, and links to, some of the best baseball writers on the Internet. Follow the links above to read my own intermittent attempts at wisdom (the Baseball Graphs blog), and the heart of this site, historical graphs of every season dating back to 1900.

There are also two special sections you might want to check out. One is the graphical review of the 2003 season, which informed our work at The Hardball Times. The other is the Batted Balls Library, which includes a unique look at batters and pitchers from 2002 through 2005.

Things to Learn

On the Hardball Times site, I publish a regular column entitled “Ten Things I Didn’t Know Last Week.”  At least, it’s regular during the season.

Anyway, the original inspiration for that column was the BBC’s ten things list.  And now, the BBC has posted its list of 100 Things We Didn’t Know Last Year.  There’s nothing about baseball on the list—not even about cricket.  But it’s a great read, nevertheless.

- Donald Rumsfeld was both the youngest and oldest Secretary of Defense in US history.

- The costume of the Lion in the Wizard of Oz was made from real lions.

- My favorite: thinking about your muscles can make you stronger.

You also might want to know if you think more like a man or a woman.  I graded exactly even between the two; I evidently have an androgynous brain!

And now you know way too much about me.
