Almanac : The "Official" Baseball History Site
http://baseball-almanac.com/
Marvin Terry. Reviewed 5 March 2003.
This site offers one-stop shopping for facts, statistics, and
trivia on professional baseball. Organized by categories such
as all-star games,
awards,
fabulous feats, famous firsts, hall of fame, player stats, record
book and year in review, the site also features current baseball
news and "Today in Baseball History" notes. Advertising
is present on the site, as
are some links to eCommerce sites such as eBay offering baseball
related memorabilia ; however, all of the information on the Baseball
Almanac site itself is free. This is a useful site both for baseball
fanatics as well as for those just wanting to check a fact or
brush up on their baseball knowledge.
