- | + | Since the Encyclopedia is still in development, it is more of a '''project''' than a '''resource'''. If you are interested in doing research and helping build the Encyclopedia into a more valuable resource, you can get started with one of the projects listed on the right. | |
+ | |||
+ | If you are here to use the Encyclopedia as a research resource, you will find that it offers approximately the same (or more) information on professional players as the old SABR Encyclopedia. Currently, this includes: | ||
+ | * Playing statistics for Major Leaguers from Pete Palmer's database | ||
+ | * Playing statistics for minor leaguers from the [http://research.sabr.org/minors/historical-statistics/about-statistics SABR Minor League Statistics Project] (as available) | ||
+ | * Pictorial History records for Major Leaguers | ||
+ | * Links to other SABR research on players (in development) | ||
+ | |||
+ | To find information a player, just enter their name (full name or surname) into the search box at left and hit enter. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For a quick example of how most articles look now (unfinished), see [[Warren Spahn]]. For an example of an article that has been developed more completely, see [[Grady Sizemore]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Sabrpedia.org also features research from the '''Collegiate Baseball Committee'''. Much of the research has not been fully integrated into the Encyclopedia (this is a [[Help:Formatting collegiate baseball articles|project in progress]]), but the information is there and may be useful to you. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can browse college information using [[:Category:Colleges]] or enter the name of a college in the search box and hit enter. | ||
