Baseball Notes January 16, 2005: I've been working on a slew of new sites and pages about Baseball. First, I have a baseball statistics site. So far I have a page for every player in baseball (example: Warren Spahn). And now I'm working on some all time leaders pages (example Most Homers in a Season). I also have a baseball discussion forum. So far, I only have a few visitors, but if you read this message, I hope you might drop by and post. I think our most active discussion so far is about the greatest pitcher ever. And the least developed of the three is the baseball card forums. |
