[Le Grande Orange]

I think I tried to start something like this last year, but it didn't get too far, as there was a lack of volunteers and the information available wasn't that comprehensive nor in a good quality state.

However, I did at least put together an Excel file with all the various fields set up for the stats, and separate sheets for the batting, pitching, and fielding (I also set up fields for the calculated stats as well, like batting average, total bases, ERA, and so forth). If nothing else, it seems to me even just getting the player stats entered into Excel files is a good start, as I think it can be further manipulated as needed from there for database purposes later (someone more knowledgeable in that area will have to speak up about that).

This time out it looks like there is more interest, and there seems to be better sources of information, such as getting the stats right out of the yearly TSN Guides.

Maybe we can at least set up a trial run, to get an idea of exactly how much work and time is needed to get through one season's worth of player stats for the PCL, IL, and AA...

Incidentally, I know there is already out there are Excel files with the PCL player stats for 1948-57, which I got from someone last year.
