Game start time #249

Open ryan112358 opened 2 years ago

ryan112358 commented 2 years ago

How can I get the start time (hour and minute, local time zone) for each game? I didn't see that information in either

retrosheet.schedule_and_record or retrosheet.season_game_logs

It only tells me if the game was day/night, but I'd prefer to have the actual start time.

For anybody who is interested in this issue, I found that the information can be obtained by the retrosheet.events function, although some parsing of raw data is needed to get it into a usable form, and merge it with other data sources.
