Retrosheet

As an adjunct to Retrosheet's summer 2024 release, we are making available a set of csv files that provide daily logs for players, teams, and ballparks, as well as fully parsed play-by-play data. See here for details: retrosheet.org/downloads/csvd… Enjoy! Tom Thress

Retrosheet is pleased to announce its semi-annual summer 2025 release. With this release we now have complete play-by-play for the 1911 - 2024 AL/NL seasons and box scores dating back to 1899. See here for more details: retrosheet.org/summer2025rele… Enjoy!

@khazhad Thanks! We’ll correct those!

Another error in the batting.csv from @Retrosheet in the b_seq column: I've corrected in the screenshot, but the stattype value "lower" was appearing in the b_seq column instead of replacing "value" in the stattype column. Error in two rows of gameID CVB194605281.

Second, we offer daily logs for players, teams, by season, by ballpark, and more. retrosheet.org/downloads/othe… Come get your nerd on. You know you want to. Enjoy! (3/3)

First, we now offer parsed play-by-play data by season. Or, you can download a single file that includes details about all 15,852,865 plays in our collection. retrosheet.org/downloads/play… (2/3)

For folks who may be interested in playing with Retrosheet data but are intimidated by it, we have a couple of new offerings that will hopefully make our data more accessible to the masses. (1/3)

Retrosheet is pleased to announce an update to its Negro Leagues section: retrosheet.org/NegroLeagues/N… This update includes two new seasons: 1937 and 1938 (the first two seasons in the history of the Negro American League).

@Retrosheet has now posted scans of official “day-by-day” sheets housed @baseballhall. Here’s just one of the gems you can access: Ty Cobb’s 1910 stats that mistakenly repeated a 2-for-3 game, ultimately and accidentally giving him the 1910 batting crown. retrosheet.org/officialtotals…

Official Daily Statistics from 1882-1980 for six different major leagues are now available for download. retrosheet.org/officialtotals…

Retrosheet is pleased to announce its second semi-annual release of 2024. This release includes full play-by-play for the 1914 and 2024 seasons as well as several additional updates. See here for details: retrosheet.org/fall2024releas… Tom Thress

@ilovescat247 Soon. Probably within the next two weeks or so.

Bruce Fleming has documented a few dozen cases of non-pitchers taking the mound in games played before 1911. The Retrosheet website has been updated (retrosheet.org/nonpitch.htm). Many thanks to Bruce for this careful research and for sharing it with the Retro-community.

@theaceofspaeder @J2S2013 @blummer27 @RealToddKalas @MLB @baseball_ref @fangraphs That plate appearance is included on our list of “Pitch Count Mistakes” here: retrosheet.org/PitchCountMist…

@J2S2013 @blummer27 @RealToddKalas great find, this should be listed as a 1-3 pitch (Cc: @MLB, @baseball_ref, @fangraphs, @Retrosheet). Aug. 3, 2022 - Astros vs Red Sox, Yordan bot 3

The Joint Rules Committee reduced the number of balls required for a walk from five to four on Nov. 20, 1888 — 136 years ago today — establishing the "four balls for a walk, three strikes you're out" rule that is still in effect today. Despite this change, mistakes have occurred over the years. For instance, on June 26, 2021, Casey Mize walked Kyle Tucker on ball five after umpire Sam Holbrook seemingly lost track of the count. This remains the most recent instance of a pitch being thrown after ball four had already been called.

@mccantssa68 If you go here - retrosheet.org/downloads/csvd… - if you download the file there, you'll get a series of csv files. The 'fielding' files there have daily player fielding logs which include ballparks. The 'teamstats' files have the same by team. Good luck!

@Retrosheet I would like Retrosheet to add players fielding splits by ballpark just like hitting/pitching splits. You guys did honor my request for home and away fielding splits a few years back. Would make fielding research a lot less tedious. Thank you!

Retrosheet has updated a few pages on our website. retrosheet.org/resources/pavi… retrosheet.org/resources/reso… retrosheet.org/outturn.htm retrosheet.org/Hidden%20Ball%… If you have anything you'd like us to add to the site, please let us know! Enjoy!

Dave's paper is now available at our website: retrosheet.org/Research/Smith…
