Apparently they couldn't hire anyone who knew how to make a spreadsheet

This link is from the Richmond Braves website: "Batting leaders"
Not only is the information formatted in an incomprehensible manner, I believe it's a year old!
There's a lot of major league names on that list. I'm surprised, actually. Pawtucket just piggybacks on minorleaguebaseball.com's stats service (http://tinyurl.com/nl72d). It's not like Richmond couldn't do the same thing (http://tinyurl.com/r2vqc).
It's neither inaccurate nor incomprehensible. Johnson really did hit 281 home runs in just 0.857 at-bats, scoring 0.85697025 runs (rounding up). It was a feat that will never be duplicated -- I can't even begin to describe the play.
And if you think the site is cool, just visit the park. A couple of years ago, they had Skull Fracture Night at The Diamond. But when the concrete fell, the lucky ticketholder was not in his seat.
The column headers are totally wrong, too.

It looks like Richmond doesn't have a lot of good players as Atlanta has stripped the roster bare.
I emailed the R-Braves PR staff about the page. They have a canned email reply so other people must have complained.
I was told to visit milb.com.
Is a tragic place to be.
Must bunt triplers home.
