anyqs I'd love to see other stats about each team to go along with time played. Runs scored and runs against is the first thing I thought of when I saw Boston/NYY at the top and SEA at the bottom. Pitches per plate appearance could also be interesting, as could the number of extra inning games. I would also love to see number of nationally televised games because the ESPN/FOX games tend to have longer commercial breaks.

anyqs this seems like way to simple of a figure for what it could display. The overall total playing time for a team would, in my opinion, not be as interesting as comparing players across teams or maybe including the post season

anyqs As an exchange student, I am not familiar with MLB. Whether each team has to play the same number of games each season? From this chart, I thought it was not with grate help. Because the data are close to each other and I am not sure whether the different color have different meanings

The "Video Game Statistics" infographic from OnlineSchools.org shows details about video games, including duration, gender, console of choice, and more. It compiled data from the ESA, various console manufacturers, and online surveys into a fun chart.

This is a cool argument for the new (next season) 1 game playoff between the top two wild-card teams in the NL and AL, and why it should work

This is empirical because it uses data from 1200 adults in two different areas. Though it might be subjective because not everyone tells the truth about cheating at anything

"Beau's caretakers at the Yellow River Game Ranch in Lilburn say he has a 94 percent accuracy rating..." I'd say this is an example of subjective probability.

Should be related to computer and hardware engineering. Helps manufactures and developers determine the popular hardware/software (in a gaming community at least) and give them heads up on what the consumer expect/like in future production.

Statistically shows who should be considered the greatest basketball players of all time based on different accomplishments.

"anyqs" This is a very cool way to see how players from the past rack up to one another. One of my questions is how did they come up with a a methodology to rank the award achievement points, and do they believe this method can be used to rank all players versus one another? It seems like using this method, guys who have played with multiple championship teams who are not considered stars could then rank really highly, even though they might not have played a huge role in the championships won (NBA championships are the most achievement points). If all the NBA players were put on this chart, then some people could be mislead, as a guy like Charles Barkley could rank lower than say Derek Fisher, even though Fisher would is not considered on the same star level as Barkley.

anyqs How was the scoring of the achievement decided? For example, why is the pointage for Playoff Appearances 0? And it seems like there's a significant penalty for people who've never won a championship, despite their skill level. Is it fair to discount a player's all time greatness, if they were never on a team good enough to win a championship? Like John Stockton, one of the greatest point guards of all time. Leads the league in career assists by over 4000 (with 15,000+), but is given a very low ranking for his skill and effect on the game, because of his lack of rings. There's an odd skew, and while championship rings are a massive deal, they're not everything.
