Beta testing an historical stats tool at http://mlbstats.nyfuturestars.com to provide a complete statistical history of MLB, including player profiles, stats, team pages, etc. for every player and every team in every era in the history of the game.
We updated all the player records to include 2007 stats throughout the organization.
All player profiles, etc. now include both offensive/pitching stats.
NYFS has one of the largest organization exclusive databases of over 1,500 players, 5,000 stat lines, 8,000 photos, and 12,000 fans.
There are profile pages for every player in team history, stats as far back as 1962. Cleon Jones‘ AA stats. Tom Seaver. Ed Kranepool’s minor league numbers. etc.
Every registered NYFS user is a sportswriter covering the Mets. By registering you are provided with a free “Blurb” tool, which allows you to write anything you want about the Mets past/present/future. Staff members will then preview your post for content and publish it to the main site. All your “Blurbs” are aggregated on your NYFS profile page.
We have a new tool here at NYFS to allow NYFSers to help us maintain the accuracy of the historical database here, re: retired players, former Mets and prospects, etc. called “NYFS Historian”
We need some volunteers to participate. It doesn’t require any commitment or minimum effort, or responsibility. Just gives you access to help fix errors and update information on the player pages from a link on the main site, just like the “AddABlurb” tool, as your copius free time allows.
There’s no age requirement, just a working knowledge of Google and Wikipedia for fact checking, and command of the English language. We’re going to be adding a lot of new data/stats here in the not too distant future, and we want to make sure we keep all the player records comprehensive and accurate.
Please let me or Zach or Calli know if you are interested in helping, or we could possibly draft you regardless. Consider yourself warned.
