For folks who may be interested in playing with Retrosheet data but are intimidated by it, we have a couple of new offerings that will hopefully make our data more accessible to the masses.

First, we now offer parsed play-by-play data by season. Or, you can download a single file that includes details about all 15,852,865 plays in our collection.

@Retrosheet has now posted scans of official “day-by-day” sheets housed @baseballhall. Here’s just one of the gems you can access: Ty Cobb’s 1910 stats that mistakenly repeated a 2-for-3 game, ultimately and accidentally giving him the 1910 batting crown. retrosheet.org/officialtotal…
Official Daily Statistics from 1882-1980 for six different major leagues are now available for download.

Bruce Fleming has documented a few dozen cases of non-pitchers taking the mound in games played before 1911. The Retrosheet website has been updated (retrosheet.org/nonpitch.htm). Many thanks to Bruce for this careful research and for sharing it with the Retro-community.
Retrosheet has updated a few pages on our website.

On the geekier side, it put together a small shell script to download the @Retrosheet schedule files and import them into an SQLite database.
If a PowerShell user can write an equivalent script, I would be happy to include it.
