Purchase Our Products
You will find below our current three dataset products. All datasets are based
on source data* that indicated the regular season game-day starting player roster for each Major League Baseball game
from 1914 through 2014. Each of our dataset products is a ".csv" formatted datafile containing 2,923,407 records sorted first by PlayerID, then by GameDate, and in the format:
(PlayerID, GameDate, RunningTotalOfOtherStartingPlayers)
PlayerID is the unique identifier of every MLB player ever, as created and defined by
Retrosheets. These PlayerID values can be directly associated with other dataset PlayerIDs such as Lahman's PlayerID if you wish to do deeper analysis across other MLB
datasets.
MLB Dataset #1 contains, in the third field, the running total of UNIQUE other MLB
starting players a player has PLAYED WITH up through that
specific GameDate.
MLB Dataset #2 is identical in format and content to MLB Dataset #1, except the third
field of Dataset #2 contains a running total of UNIQUE other MLB starting players a player has PLAYED AGAINST up through that specific GameDate.
We provide both MLB Dataset #1 and MLB Dataset #2 because one can learn tactics, techniques, and procedures from both those one performs a task WITH and AGAINST.
MLB Dataset #3 is a discounted price on the combination of MLB Dataset #1 and MLB Dataset #2 but also includes two additional player connectivity datasets. That is, for $10.00 less than the separate prices of MLB Dataset #1 and MLB Dataset #2 you will receive BOTH of those datasets
PLUS two additional datasets in the same format as MLB Dataset #1 and MLB Dataset #2, but containing running totals of ALL starting players a player has played
WITH up through that GameDate AND a dataset in the same format as MLB Dataset #1 and MLB Dataset #2 containing a running total of ALL starting players a player has played
AGAINST up through that GameDate.
