So, what do we want to do here?

  1. This is only historical data, so we cannot focus on specific data-- we need to find historical data.

A few ideas we have shot around: Looking at the composition of the best historical teams similar to the FiveThirtyEight ELO ranking article (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-best-mlb-teams-of-all-time-according-to-elo/) Basically this: How are the best teams created? Is it through HOF basemen or what? Look at the stats by somehow bringing in the HOF consideration within a team.

  1. How has the game of baseball changed over time?

I think we need to look from 1903 onwards for the historical data

jh-chung commented 6 years ago

the reason being that World Series begins then

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-our-mlb-predictions-work/ How FiveThirtyEight ranks MLB teams. Maybe we should rank the teams first, and then look into the specifics/common factors in all of the teams w/ number of HOF, etc.

Do you guys think that we should rank the teams historically first and then look at what they have in common (Hall of Fame, positions, rating thresholds) and maybe see how that has changed over time?

jh-chung commented 6 years ago

issue: We had an issue with the hall of fame join. So, what we did was we found pitching stats and are looking for a way to look at players who did not make the Hall of Fame and understand if their threshold would have been close to understand (maybe) how the game has changed over time.

jh-chung commented 6 years ago

Okay, so still have somewhat of an issue with the batting and finding out which players did not make the HOF. Furthermore, we probably need to compare with the HOF players, which requires understanding the HOF data as well.

jh-chung commented 6 years ago

We could also argue that they were not inducted because baseball has changed/the bar has gotten higher over the years for certain stats

We made interactive graphs and everything, so I think we can understand how players have changed. Maybe add annotations. Go visit Ben on Thursday
