Baseball Scorecard
Patrick McGovern has produced a wonderful site documenting scorekeeping. Patrick developed this after he learned how to keep score for his son. The discussion area (rated G) is the best place on the Internet to discuss scorekeeping.

How to Read a Scorecard
The Christian Science Monitor wrote an informative, albeit short, article in 1998 about how to read a scorecard.

ESPN
ESPN is a wonderful site (and more stable than MLB). Team rosters and scores are available here. The statistics area is the definitive current year stat site on the Internet. A user can sort statistics to help provide critical analysis. This is the only known place to find compiled pitch count data.

Major League Baseball
All the team statistics are here. More important, however, are the official rules to the game. The rules are a must read for any scorekeeper. Answers to what a sacrifice fly is, or how an appeal play works, etc. are held within 10 rather straight-forward rules. MLB also provides a basic scoring primer and links to all teams web sites. Additionally, an abbreviations list is available.

Phillies Phans
Being Phillies phans, we like to keep up with our team. This is the place on the 'Net to follow Larry Bowa's team. Links to articles are useful with our writing. The discussion forum (rated PG) is a great place to follow every detail of the team.

Baseball Reference
This site is a valuable resource. It's a bit more involved, but anyone who is seriously interested in baseball by the numbers will find this a place to visit daily.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame
This is a WebQuest for developing a new baseball franchise. Although not a data collection project, it is something you and your teacher will very much enjoy.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame
Another WebQuest appropriate for elementary/middle school students. The task is to determine which stadium the commissioner should visit. Lots of fun!
