Sometimes its the little things...

This won't be news for the attentive regular reader (Haha regular reader of this, how absurd. Plus how can you be regular if I've only gone on one binge of posts? Lets get back on track here).  Well, maybe it will be news for you because I probably wouldn't have noticed this on your blog.  Or maybe I just don't respect the people who read this enough and it will cause you to roll your eyes and say "I know Ed, its right there under your information." Drumroll please...

Just kidding, there's a little more back story coming your way.  As a self-admitted and self-diagnosed baseball nerd I have spent my fair share of time looking up the stats of baseball players throughout the history of the game.  Whether to prove a point, to argue who was better, to make a case if a guy does (or does not) deserve to be in the Hall of Fame, or just out of curiosity, baseball-reference.com has been a constant in my attempts to seem better equipped with baseball information than anyone else I know.

(Random aside, did you know Ted Williams had a career OBP of .482?? That's ridiculous!!)

Well, guess what folks, THIS GUY HAS A PAGE ON BASEBALL-REFERENCE.COM.  I could argue that I've never been more excited than when I found this out (almost definitely not true, but if you know me, you know I'd probably argue it for the sake of arguing).  I'd like to pretend it was an accident or that I stumbled upon it, but I was stat-trolling the Pecos League on Google, and I found that the league had stats on the Baseball-Reference website.  Of course I rushed with bated breath to the search bar to see if I had a page, and indeed I do. (I looked it up and its not baited. Weird. And 'bated breath' is yet another Bill Shakespeare saying apparently, guy's a genius. I'll go out on a limb and say it.)  It may not be fancy, it may not have a picture, but I'm on the most trusted website in professional baseball, and it feels great.  I'll re-link you in case somehow this transparent plea hasn't already gotten you to the page.
