Stats databases

Ceetar Nov 27 2010 05:43 PM

I'm tired of digging for these things when I want them, but have no idea where or if they're recorded. So what databases do you guys use? I found one that looked slightly outdated, but ultimately I'd like to be able to download the data, and throw SQL statements at it. or at least some sort of query. Ultimately free would be nice, but I'd certainly be willing to pay a bit for that sort of data, particularly if i could get it mostly current. This kinda access has to be out there somewhere right? That's the whole point of the 'sabermetric rebellion?'

Do you mean the Lahman Baseball Database?

What's not on baseball-reference.com that you're looking for?

Or, say, Fangraphs? (Baseball Cube's good for minors/college/winter league all in one place.)

Why is that better than the raw data supplied by retrosheet? (which is available now)
