I'm Jay Wigley and I'm excited to have a chance to answer your questions about Retrosheet, and about how this 100% fan-created and non-profit organization has enabled deep knowledge of baseball history.

If you don't know Retrosheet, check out www.retrosheet.org and you'll find yourself in data heaven. All your favorite baseball sites like Fangraphs and Baseball Reference get their historical MLB games--all the play-by-play and box scores--from Retrosheet (with very few exceptions). But how Retrosheet gathered and preserved all those games has been unknown until recently.

My book is How Retrosheet Saved Baseball History (www.retrosheet-book.com) and is based on both my own volunteer work for Retrosheet and hundreds of hours of interviews and five years of research into every facet of Retrosheet.

If you're a baseball fan beyond today's game, if you enjoy any aspect of baseball history, Retrosheet is for you. John Thorn (MLB official historian) has called Retrosheet "the greatest human endeavor since someone convinced 40,000 Jews to build a pyramid."

So ask me questions about Retrosheet or the book-writing process, or anything at all. I'm excited to engage with Reddit's best and largest baseball community. . .

Does anyone know about Retrosheet here?

This is from episode 143 and is supposed to be Collinsport, and the next shot is of Maggie's home. I'd love to know where this was, down to the street if possible.
