I initially created Baseball Graphs to develop new and better ways of presenting baseball statistics. The 2003 season was my first full-season attempt, and it turned out pretty well. I now spend a lot of my time creating and formatting the baseball stats at The Hardball Times.

Along the way, I've also picked up the writing bug. I spend most of my energy writing for THT, but sometimes I like to write about more geeky stuff, baseball research and things like that. That's what this blog is for.

I'm very interested in graphics and other information display, so I'll probably post links to creative stuff like that. I also plan to write historical articles that complement the historical graphs. And I have inexplicably developed an interest in baseball win-related stats, such as Bill James's Win Shares and something called Win Probability Added. So you can expect a few posts about that stuff too.

If you're interested, I've created a complex spreadsheet full of WPA logic, which you can download at ftp.baseballgraphs.com/wpa. If you'd like to read more about Win Shares, try these links:

Syndicate Baseball Graphs:

Korean Baseball Graphics

February 06, 2005

The Red Reporter has posted links to a series of Korean baseball cartoons. I don’t know Korean at all, but as a big fan of cartoons and graphics, I just love this stuff. Find your favorite team and see if you can use the cartoons to guide your understanding of a new language.

Thanks to Batgirl, whose fans are busy translating the Twins’ cartoon.
