In the late 80s, our basic game league had a manager who in addition to keeping the requisite league pitching and hitting stat categories, also kept fielding stats. We all thought he was a little nuts but since he was in charge of putting out the newsletter, we got to see them every month.

Steve Stein lets us know that he’s updated the historical archive of the Transcontinental Baseball League.

If you want a better look [...]
