Welcome to my Web site featuring original baseball research. My name is Clifford Blau and I have been a member of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) since 1983. However, this site is not connected with SABR. I established this site in order to publicize not only my own research but that of others as well. I hope to offer articles by other researchers, and to post research in progress so that others might critique and expand upon it.
