| John Skilton's Baseball Links: Main Menu | http://www.baseball-links.com/ |
| At least ten years old, a virtual baseball portal with over 11,000 unique baseball links. In the 90’s it was hot, now less so, but still useful. | |
| Japanese Baseball Players | http://www.japanesebaseball.com/players/index.jsp |
| A great place for statistics of all players in the Japanese baseball league, regardless their country of origin. | |
| Baseball Direct Scoreboard | http://www.baseballdirect.com/scoreboard/index.html |
| Low on the graphics, high on quality statistics, including the unique “Fantasy Lineup Analysis.” | |
| Baseball HQ | http://www.baseballhq.com/ |
| The best fantasy baseball analysis and statistics site in cyberspace, but it is not free. | |
| ESPN Statistics Index | http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/index/ |
| The best single free statistical site. | |
| RobNeyer.com | http://www.robneyer.com/ |
| Rob Neyer is the best ESPN columnist, but he is only available through ESPN’s premium (fee based) prose section. This is his own personal home page. Not always updated, but fun insights when he does add something new. | |
| The Roto Times | http://www.rototimes.com/index.php?sport=bsball&type=home |
| Some fee based, some free information. The injuries section is one of the best and they keep it current during the offseason. | |
| Major League Baseball | http://mlb.mlb.com |
| MLB does a nice job with general news, general historical information, and recently they added fantasy information. Their web “radio” isn't great, but it is all you can find during the offseason. | |
| Baseball-Reference.com - Major League Baseball Statistics and History | http://www.baseballreference.com/ |
| A great place to dig into historical statistics. | |
| Sabermetric Baseball Encyclopedia | http://baseball-encyclopedia.com/ |
| If you want to buy historical statistics that has a front-end that allows you to easily qualify the data you want without knowing any database or query language. | |
| Official Site of the Strat-O-Matic Game Co. | http://www.strat-o-matic.com/ |
| If you know the game, you probably know about this website already, but just in case, here it is. | |
