Baseball Almanac is an interactive baseball encyclopedia with over 500,000 pages of baseball facts, research, awards, records, feats, lists, notable quotations, baseball movie ratings, and statistics.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Its goal is to preserve the history of baseball.

It serves, in turn, as a source for a number of books and publications about baseball, and/or is mentioned by them as a reference, such as Baseball Digest,[7] Understanding Sabermetrics: An Introduction to the Science of Baseball Statistics,[8] and Baseball's Top 100: The Game's Greatest Records.[5] Dan Zachofsky described it in Collecting Baseball Memorabilia: A Handbook as having the most current information regarding members of the Hall of Fame.[9] [10]

David Maraniss, author of Clemente, the Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero, described it as "an absolutely reliable and first-rate bountiful source, that supplied accurate schedules and box scores".[11] Glenn Guzo, in The New Ballgame: Baseball Statistics for the Casual Fan, described it as having "a rich supply of contemporary and historic information".[5] Film critic Richard Roeper described it in Sox and the City: A Fan's Love Affair with the White Sox from the Heartbreak of '67 to the Wizards of Oz as "one of the beauteous wonders of the Internet".[12] Harvey Frommer, Dartmouth College Professor and sports author, said of Baseball Almanac: "Definitive, vast in its reach and scope, Baseball Almanac is a mother lode of facts, figures, anecdotes, quotations and essays focused on the national pastime.... It has been an indispensable research tool for me."
