http://cnnsi.com/baseball/index.html
CNN offers less interaction than ESPN but delivers the nuts and bolts
of baseball news in solid fashion. Its best feature, which any baseball fan will devour, is its baseball scoreboard. It provides users with instant scores. Unlike other Web scoreboards, CNN's doesn't confine itself to the Majors. College scores and minor league scores and standings are available -- a godsend for those of us who grew up watching the minors.

Baseball Cards, 1887-1914
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/bbhtml/bbhome.html
Part of the Library of Congress's American Memory Project.
This collection presents a Library of Congress treasure -- 2,100 early baseball cards dating from 1887 to 1914. The cards show such legendary figures as Ty Cobb stealing third base for Detroit, Tris Speaker batting for Boston, and pitcher Cy Young posing formally in his Cleveland uniform. Other notable players include Connie Mack, Walter Johnson, King Kelly, and Christy Mathewson. Cigarette card collector Benjamin K. Edwards preserved these baseball cards in albums with more than 12,000 other cards on many subjects. After his death, Edwards' daughter gave the albums to noted poet and Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg, who donated them to the Library's Prints and Photographs Division in 1954.

The fantasy league reports are one of the newspaper's best resources.

The High Boskage House Baseball Pages
http://www.highboskage.com/
Offers detailed,"normalized" statistical analysis, and attempts to account for the effect that such factors as the ball park and the "lively ball" have on player statistics. As such it takes actual player statistics and creates other statistics from them. The results are, of course, controversial, and this site is not for the feint of heart. But if you love statistics as much as the game, it is worth looking at.

Jackie Robinson and Other Baseball Highlights 1860s-1960s
http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/jrhtml/
When Edgar Renteria lined a soft single past Charles Nagy, between Tony Fernandez and Omar Vizquel, and in front of Marquis Grissom, to give the Florida Marlins their first World Series Championship recently, keen observers could easily see just how multi-national the National Pastime had become; these developments can be traced directly back to Jackie Robinson. The Library of Congress has introduced a new site to its growing American Memory collection, which contains, at its heart, an illustrated 100 year
timeline: Baseball, the Color Line, and Jackie Robinson, 1860s-1960s. Accompanied by over 30 images from the Library's collection, the timeline narrative discusses the drawing of the color line, the Negro Leagues, the breaking of the color line, and Robinson himself, both as a player and as a civil rights activist. The highlight of the site at this time is a full text game program (each page is a separate image) from a Kansas City Monarchs vs. Indianapolis Clowns contest in 1954 (under the 1900-1930
section of the timeline). A selected bibliography is also provided and an archive of early baseball pictures (1860s to 1920s). Source: Scout Report, November 7, 1997.
