Cool Website of the Undetermined Amount of Time: SABR’s Biography Project

One of the great places on the baseball-related internet is the Baseball Biography Project run by SABR (the Society of American Baseball Research). It is exactly what it says it is: a project to put up biographies of baseball figures. Most of them are short-but-sweet, but some are longer, more in-depth

They range from the obvious (Babe Ruth and Willie Mays) to the famous-because-they-are-obscure (Eddie Gaedel and Moonlight Graham) to the downright I-haven’t-ever-heard-of-them obscure (picking randomly: Tom Hernon and Pat Purtell).
A good way to waste time while soaking up some sweet baseball knowledge.

Cool baseball sites: The Baseball Gauge

From the itself-good Seamheads site is the Baseball Gauge. Why is it a cool baseball site? Well, for one thing, it automatically calculates the best at positions based on Wins Above Replacement (WAR). For another, it also lets you customize how that shows up. Want to see what the all-time Canadian team is? Boom. How about the best players last year who weren’t All-Stars? Ta-da!

Potentially hours of endless fun. Okay, maybe not hours. More like some fun here and there.

Still, check it out.
