The Data Gathering Project
Publication Date: January 9, 2006
One of the functions of this site is to serve as a repository for historical data, most of which lives over in The Filing Cabinet. I'm soliciting help from the community to add to those archives; this page serves as the description of what's needed and the easiest way to get data into the archive. There are three projects where help is needed:
All-Time Team and Conference Win-Loss Records
These are selectable by year in The Filing Cabinet. Much of what's in there was inherited with much gratitude, although I've added a good bit since then. Currently, the records for the following schools have been checked against the records maintained by the school:
Air Force Georgia Northern Illinois Alabama Georgia Tech Northern Iowa Alabama-Birmingham Gonzaga Oklahoma State Albany High Point Oregon State Appalachian State Hofstra Pacific Arizona Houston Pepperdine Arizona State Illinois Portland Arkansas Illinois-Chicago Rice Arkansas-Little Rock Indiana Richmond Army Iowa San Diego State Auburn Jacksonville San Jose State Ball State Kansas State South Alabama Baylor Kent State South Florida Bradley Kentucky Southern California Brigham Young Lafayette Southern Illinois Cal State Fullerton Long Beach State Southwest Missouri State Cal State Sacramento Louisiana-Monroe Stanford California Louisiana State St. John's UC Irvine Louisville Stetson Campbell Maine Tennessee Central Florida Marshall Texas-Arlington Clemson Maryland Texas Tech Coastal Carolina McNeese State Tulane Creighton Mercer UCLA Dallas Baptist Miami, Florida Utah Davidson Michigan State Villanova Delaware Middle Tennessee State Virginia Detroit Mercy Navy Virginia Tech Drexel Nevada Wagner Duke New Mexico Wake Forest Duquesne Nicholls State Washington East Tennessee State North Carolina Washington State Eastern Michigan North Carolina-Charlotte Western Carolina Elon North Carolina-Greensboro Wichita State Florida North Carolina-Wilmington Wisconsin-Milwaukee Florida Atlantic North Carolina State Wright State Florida State Northern Colorado Yale
Any disputes or corrections involving these teams will be entertained, of course, and passed along to the school involved.
For any other team, the best format to get the records to me is in a CSV file, one per team with the team name in the file name, containing one line per season in this format:
Year,Conference,Division,AllWins,AllLosses,ConfWins,ConfLosses
As with all of these requests, I'll accept anything that you can send; this (or something that can be quickly dumped to CSV like an Excel or Access file) is just the fastest thing for me to process.
All-Time Game Score Records
The Game Score Database currently contains full records going back to 1998 and nearly full records for 1997. The 1997 records have the following gaps:
Team Games Missing Alabama State 14 Bethune-Cookman 3 Hawaii-Hilo 2 Howard 3 Jackson State 1 Maryland-Eastern Shore 4 Mississippi Valley State 14 Northwestern 1 Prairie View A&M 1 Wofford 3
The best way to submit game scores is one season of one team in a CSV file with the following format for each line, with the team and year specified in the file name:
Date,WinningTeam,WinningScore,LosingTeam,LosingScore,Site
Again, I'll accept other formats if you have them already available.
Player Stats
The Hitting Stats Database and the Pitching Stats Database currently contain season stats for almost all player back through the 2002 season and many records from before then. Here's the record by team of what's included:
Air Force: 2001-2005 Akron: 2002-2005 Alabama: 2002-2005 Alabama A&M: 2002-2005 Alabama State: 2002-2005 Alabama-Birmingham: 2001-2005 Albany: 2000-2005 Alcorn State: 2002-2005 Appalachian State: 2002-2005 Arizona: 2002-2005 Arizona State: 1997-2005 Arkansas: 2002-2005 Arkansas State: 2002-2005 Arkansas-Little Rock: 2002-2005 Arkansas-Pine Bluff: 2002-2005 Army: 2001-2005 Auburn: 1994-2005 Austin Peay State: 2002-2005 Ball State: 2002-2005 Baylor: 2000-2005 Belmont: 2002-2005 Bethune-Cookman: 2002-2005 Binghamton: 2002-2005 Birmingham-Southern: 2001-2005 Boston College: 1996, 2000-2005 Bowling Green State: 1999-2005 Bradley: 2002-2005 Brigham Young: 2002-2005 Brown: 2001-2005 Bucknell: 2001-2005 Buffalo: 2001-2005 Butler: 2002-2005 C.

In this case, I'd very much like to get them in the standard Stat Crew Software format, exemplified nicely here. As always, though, I'll be glad to sift through anything else I can get.
