I lusted after the various sports games advertised in the magazines until my mom finally relented and bought Strat-O-Matic Football for me in 1972. I got SOM’s baseball game a year later and I was hooked. I would get the new card set each year and attempt to play the in-progress season by moving the traded players around and turning ‘nameless player cards” into that year’s key rookies. I switched to APBA in the late ‘70’s because they started releasing some complete old season sets and the idea of playing with those really caught my fancy. Between then and the mid-nineties, I collected a lot of card sets.

  • Understanding Baseball, an Exercise in Data Science
    Understanding baseball, an exercise in Data Science Dr. Chris Edwards, January 31, 2020 The website retrosheet.org has downloads of play-by-play information for over 100 years of baseball seasons. The information can be used to learn about the game of baseball, at least as it is played at the Major League level. My interest in the data is in creating a method to simulate how the game plays. There are many table-top baseball games (Strat-o-Matic, APBA, Statis Pro, among others) which allow fans to recreate games, or seasons, or even conduct hypothetical matchups between Babe Ruth and Nolan Ryan, for instance. The game of baseball is rich in record keeping, and this is the appeal to many fans. Other uses of this data could include learning strategies to win more games. Do managers use the proper tactics? Could we improve how the game is managed by learning what actions in the past produced success? Without being able to properly experiment, we are forced to rely on the record of observational data. However, if we can discover patterns, they may be helpful in answering some of these questions on strategy. Initial data gathering The appendix to this document contains a sample game of www.retrosheet.org data. This particular game is from April 14, 1978 and featured the visiting San Francisco Giants against the home team San Diego Padres. This game’s data file consists of 158 rows of information, some of it data about the game, some of it data about the players participating, and some of it about events that occurred during the game.
