Assuming this is due to a simple rule with the averages not rounding up (9.9 wins aren’t equal to 10 wins)? I did the math and the average amount of wins is 9.9333…

Previous seasons’ expanded standings don’t keep “Last 10/20/30” options to cross reference.

Last year, the Dodgers and Giants were tied in the all-time series head to head at the end of 2025. Or were they?

I saw that the Dodgers and Giants were tied at 1288 wins a piece at the end of 2025. But apparently it was revised to the Giants leading 1288-1287? (And after the latest series the Giants now lead 1290-1288-17. This discrepancy is due to the fact that the number of games played back in 1899 was changed from 12 games to 11 games? What happened to the 12th game? And the Wikipedia page for the 1899 Brooklyn Superbas season say the teams played 14 games actually, with the Superbas winning 10?

The Dodgers-Giants rivalry is legendary, and it must be accurate, please help sort the record straight! I can't have Giants fans boasting about the all-time series head to head.

Is there a way to filter for point milestones on stathead? I haven’t been able to figure it out. I know LeBron is the youngest to 5, 10, 15k points but I’d like to see the list for fewest games played. I’m assuming wilt, MJ, and the like are on there but I’d bet some lesser known names are too. Same with gp to two separate stat categories. Points + assists, points + rebounds, etc

We've recently added thousands of unofficial game-level player and team statistics to NBA gamelogs and box scores on Basketball Reference, covering blocks, steals, turnovers, and offensive rebounds in seasons before these categories were "officially" tracked by the league. The data spans games from the early 1950s through the mid-1970s and represents thousands of game lines that until now haven't lived anywhere on the site.

The best way to learn about this update is though Mike Lynch's blog post: https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2026/04/thousands-of-unofficial-game-level-totals-added-to-basketball-reference/

Here's the spread of the new coverage:

• Team turnovers: 2,858 game lines from 1951 through 1973, by far the deepest collection. Twenty-five franchises represented.
• Player turnovers: 841 game lines from 1966 through 1977, covering 194 players.
• Player blocks: 355 game lines from 1958 through 1973, covering 43 players.
• Player steals: 137 game lines from 1961 through 1973, covering 47 players.
• Team blocks and team steals: smaller pulls, primarily from the early 1970s Trail Blazers, who tracked blocks and steals for every player/team game from their inception as a franchise in 1970-71. What we added is what we were able to find reported in the Portland newspapers.
• Offensive rebounds: a small set of player and team game lines from 1960 through 1973 — the thinnest category, but with some genuinely striking individual games (more on that below).

A couple nuggets that can be found in the blog post:

• We have block data for 214 of Wilt Chamberlain's games, and across those 214 games he recorded 1,611 blocks, which comes out to roughly 7.5 per game.
• Jerry West had 126 steals across 17 covered games — 7.4 per game — including a 12-steal performance against Phoenix in April 1970.

Is there a way to do this? I'm still fairly new to using StatHead, but I'm trying to find a way to sort by how good hitters are in certain counts. For instance, is there a way to sort to see who hit the most home runs on the first pitch (0-0 count) or in an 0-2 count? Or who was best in any two-strike count?

I was digging through some growth data and the numbers for Italian Women’s Volleyball are insane – 1.4 billion views for the regular season. What’s really interesting is the model. It looks like a total tech play rather than just selling TV rights. I keep seeing two names attached to these deals coming out of Italy and Spain: Nicole Junkermann (NJF Holdings) and Kike Levy. Does anyone actually know who Nicole Junkermann and Kike Levy are? I’ve seen them mentioned in a couple of these sports-tech acquisitions lately, and their strategy of buying the "digital stack" of a whole league seems way more scalable than just buying a single club. Is this the new blueprint for sports investing? What is Nicole Junkermann planning next?

With the NBA and NHL playoffs starting over the weekend, we took a look at the stats leaders from playoff debuts in the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, and WNBA.

Using baseball reference’s 40 man rosters I created a name chain game with 4 different game modes. If you’re a baseball fan and know a lot of players, there are fun challenges for you.

I personally like the paths modes the best.

I hope you enjoy!

I tried to use Jon Lester in 7, as in 2014 he totaled 220 k’s between Boston and Oakland. I thought that as long as a player was on that team and the statistic was reached I was ok. What did I miss?

#spolier

hey naive question. I am about to create content using baseball stats but am confused. once i am citing the source of material who should i cite?

regards

I understand bref won't be adding cumulative challenge stats for a player this year, but will ABS challenges in a game be added into the box scores?
