Charts and Graphs

I've figured out how to dynamically create graphics from the data in the Ultimate Mets Database.

So far I've applied this forbidden knowledge two different ways.

For the first example, click on the little yellow box next to the year in any player's offensive statistics:

For the second example, click on the new "Charts and Graphs" tab for any Mets season:

The possibilities are (almost) limitless, and I'm open to suggestions. So if you have any, please share them.

I like how Kong just disappears off the page in April of 76

I dig the watermark, and the display of start distriubtion is an inventive graphic representation I hadn't seen before.

Look at 1999 --- both the puzzling Allen Watson interregnum and the two starts in three days by Orel Hershiser appearing as a pair of testes.

Yes, the 20 starters that the Mets used in 1967 is an all-time high.

IIRC, they also set a record that year for total number of pitchers (though that may have been surpassed).
