		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning for awhile to write a post about the Lahman Database. If you&#8217;re not already familiar with this database, I encourage you to take a look because it&#8217;s a great baseball statistics resource. The current version of the database (5.6) contains MLB pitching, hitting, and fielding statistics from 1871 through 2008. An annual [...]]]></description>
