Something not working, or a game that looks wrong? Write to me at
chad.juettner.dev and tell me what you were looking at
— the date and the two teams is usually enough for me to find it.
Common things
A day shows no games. Not every date has baseball, and the archive begins
in 1897. If a date you know had games comes up empty, please tell me — that is a bug
worth knowing about.
A score or a line looks wrong. The historical record comes from Retrosheet,
whose volunteers reconstructed it from newspapers, scorecards and league records. It is
remarkable work and it is occasionally incomplete, particularly for the earliest seasons and
for games where no complete account survives. If something looks off, tell me and I will
check it against the source.
A player's name prints but doesn't link. A few players — usually
recent call-ups — have no entry in the historical register yet. It resolves itself as
the register updates.
Today's games aren't updating. A game screen refreshes itself while it is
open and the app is in front. Pull down to refresh at any time.
Privacy
The app collects nothing about you. The privacy policy is one page
and says so in more detail.
Thanks
Bat & Box exists because of Retrosheet, whose
volunteers have spent forty years rebuilding the box score of nearly every major league game ever
played, and give it away.
