Okay, so, I’ve been trying to get my hands on some player stats from the Yankees vs. Pirates game. It wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be, but I finally got it figured out, and I wanna share how I did it.
First off, I started by just looking it up online. I figured it’d be pretty easy to find, right? I mean, it’s a baseball game, and stats are a huge part of it. Turns out, there are tons of sports websites out there, and they all have their own way of presenting the data. It got pretty overwhelming, to be honest.
So, I decided to narrow things down a bit. I picked a couple of websites that looked pretty reliable, and I started digging into their data. I was looking for things like batting averages, RBIs, home runs – you know, the usual stuff. But I also wanted to see some pitching stats, like ERA and strikeouts. I grabbed a notebook and started jotting down the numbers for each player. It was a bit tedious, but it helped me keep track of everything.
After a while, I had a pretty good list going. Then I thought, “Hey, why not put this into a spreadsheet?” So, I fired up a spreadsheet program and started entering the data. I made columns for each player’s name, their position, and all the different stats I had collected. Once I had everything in there, it looked so much cleaner and easier to read. I was like super happy about this!
But here’s where it got a little tricky. Some websites listed stats that others didn’t. For example, one site might have a player’s on-base percentage, while another wouldn’t. So, I had to go back and forth between the different sources to make sure I was getting a complete picture. I spent a good chunk of time just comparing and cross-referencing. It was a bit of a pain, but I wanted to make sure my data was as accurate as possible.
Finally, after all that work, I had a pretty solid spreadsheet with all the player stats from the game. It wasn’t easy, but I learned a lot along the way. And I’m hoping that by sharing my experience, I can save someone else the trouble of going through all that themselves. And I’m feeling accomplished!
- Started by searching online.
- Chose a few reliable websites.
- Manually recorded player stats in a notebook.
- Transferred the data into a spreadsheet.
- Compared data from different sources to ensure accuracy.
- Ended up with a complete spreadsheet of player stats.
It was a bit of a journey, but I’m glad I did it. Now I have all this great data, and I can use it to analyze the game and see how each player performed. Plus, I have a cool spreadsheet to show for it!
