 November 22, 2009Introducing Visual BaseballHi there. I'm a new blogger at The Hardball Times and wanted to introduce myself and a topic that I hope you'll find interesting. It's called Visual Baseball and it's about the intersection of two things I love - baseball and infographics (the visual display of information). Over the next few months you'll be seeing lots of different visuals from me. Some of them will be works in progress, but pushing towards a longer-term goal of bringing some fresh ideas for how this sport might be experienced. As I experiment with new visual methods and approaches, I would love your feedback - good or bad. It'll help me create better stuff and hopefully help fans enjoy the game in new ways. Looking forward to collaborating with all of you! Cheers, KevinPosted by: Kevin Dame April 17, 2009Make your own Pitch f/x graphsTHT's own Sky Kalkman over at Beyond the Boxscore continued a helpful series they've got running over there, explaining how to make your own Pitch f/x graphs. Here is RJ Anderson's first article explaining how to chart release points, and he also posted a second for movement. Happy Graphing!Posted by: Paul Singman January 26, 2009Finding hopeYou know that cool Obama poster that is now hanging in the National Portrait Gallery? Want to see the baseball equivalent?

Posted by: Dave Studeman December 17, 2008Why players don’t read game threadsIn the best tradition of xkcd, Lookout Landing has penned a cartoon about baseball players and discussion boards.Posted by: Dave Studeman December 03, 2008The food timelineThis has almost nothing to do with baseball, but I've got to tell you about it anyway. Two of my favorite subjects are graphics and food, and someone has combined them into a fascinating Food Timeline. The scale isn't accurate (like xkcd's universal height chart is), but who cares. The Food Timeline is full of fascinating tidbits (like the history of the hot dog). Check it out, whether you're a baseball fan or not.As our newest blogger says, the day isn't going to waste itself.
