A news release from Sean Forman, the man behind BaseballReference.com, the second-best baseball site on the Web.
********
Baseball-Reference.com is pleased to announce some improvements and one big addition to the site: http://www.baseball-reference.com/
The big addition is an on-line, collaborative baseball encyclopedia, the Baseball Reference Bullpen.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Main_Page
On this site, users can create and edit entries for players, teams, dates, strategies, news items or any other tidbit of baseball arcana. Literally, any baseball topic is welcome. Together, we can answer each other's pressing baseball questions.
Here are some links describing the project and how to contribute:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/What%27s_the_BR_Bullpen%3F
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/How_to_contribute
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Guidelines
Some sample entries:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Hilton_Smith
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Negro_Leagues
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Mike_Schmidt
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/Pitches
I would encourage you to contribute your vast baseball knowledge to this on-line resource. It does not need to be a long entry. Any little tidbit is welcome. No one will own this information, and it is freely available for anyone to use as they see fit.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/bullpen/BR_Bullpen:Copyrights
Each player, team, and league will have a link to their Bullpen page, so this expanded information is just a click away from the BR statistics pages.
In other news, we just upgraded to a new faster server, so hopefully, as our traffic continues to grow the pages will continue arrive just as quickly as you have come to expect.
A couple of other new additions are transactions for all years from 1875 to 2004, thanks to the folks at RetroSheet.org, some more biographical data, some new leaderboards and many, many corrections.
Full details of all updates are on our contents page.

User support is our primary means of covering the bills and paying the help (just me at the moment). If you aren't already, please consider
sponsoring a page or two to support this work.
