    Baseball-Reference gets a makeover

    Looks like the new Baseball-Reference site is out of beta and up and running now. I like it. It'll take some getting used to, but it features a ton more stats now, more breakdowns, and sort features!

    It looks a lot like the layout that basketball-reference has been using for quite a while. I'm still not sold on it, but I'm sure I'll get by.

    Well, it's certainly different.

    Interestingly enough, Bert Blylevin STILL deserves to be in the HOF even in this new format.

    I don't like the font, but I did not like the old one either. It looks more like Hockey-Reference now. It is more organized now, I like it.

    So, the font's Arial now, same as like, on the forums, instead of Times New Roman....big deal? I didn't even notice the difference until I read this and compared the two sites.

    Idk, on the site it just does not look as good. Though I suppose it is better then the old one by a mile.

    Arial is perhaps the best san serif font out there! No..really..Arial is my favorite san serif font.

    Arial looks good on here, but not with the format on Baseball Reference, which is less modern then most sites. But is is better then the late 90's look they had going...

    Why not? They still list "run scored" for all the players, thus you can make your total evaluations of players based on that one number!!!!!
    My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.
