If you have a few hours to kill (or even if you don't) and you are interested in sports statistics then you should take a visit to Baseball Reference or it's sister sites Pro Football Reference and Basketball Reference.
There's tons of stats to dive into. Did you know that aside from being a historic playmaking duo, Malone and Stockton are 1-2 in career turnovers? Rickey Henderson's stolen base record is pretty safe considering no active player under the age of 35 has cracked the top 100 in SB. Tons of 'useless info' to browse around for.
If you have any other good stats sites (that are free) post them in a comment.
Posted by ramk at October 25, 2004 11:45 PMThere's a link to it on my website, but the best site for current season college football stats is: http://web1.ncaa.org/d1mfb/mainpage.jsp
It's the most complete source I've found.
There's a very cool section of the baseball reference that has Bill James' Hall of Fame tests that show how likely a player will make it to the hall.
I also would like to give myself props for making you aware of the sports reference sites in your entry.
