An early Christmas present from Retrosheet

by Bob Timmermann

Dave Smith of Retrosheet has announced the release of two new data sets. One is the play by play data for the 2007 season. Now you can relive the Padres-Rockies one-game playoff. Or Clay Buchholz's no-hitter. Or Jose Guillen reaching first on catcher's interference on September 30!

Also 1956 play by play is available. Here is the play-by-play of the NL pennant clinching game by Brooklyn. Did you know that in 1956 there were two only two catcher's interference calls all year in the AL? And Joe Collins of the Yankees had both of them. There were only two in the NL. One was by Sandy Amoros in the Dodgers' 153rd game of the season. Andy Seminick of the Phillies had the other one.

One year on a December 10 in the future, Dave Smith and Retrosheet will be honored in Stockholm.

Are you sure they won't be honored in Oslo, instead?

I don't foresee it being a Peace Prize.
