bivariate baseball score plots

31 July 2007

a huge collection of data visualizations aiming to explore Major League Baseball teams' game scores going all the way back to 1814 1871. scores from baseball games are "bivariate data", with each variate being one team's score. the distribution of baseball scores can be viewed from a bivariate point of view, & then be filtered by other attributes such as day of the week, day/night, month, starting pitcher & so on.

can anyone spot any interesting patterns apparent from these diagrams for the non-experts between us?

This seems super sweet.

the data goes back to 1871, not 1814
