The Baseball Encyclopedia: The Complete and Official Record of Major League Baseball, 7th ed., edited by Joe Reichler (New York: Macmillan, 1988), was a major resource material for statistics. The 2003 Boston Red Sox Media Guide was a resource for Red Sox statistics and facts. The Internet sites baseball-almanac.com., baseballibrary.com, and baseball-reference.com also were very helpful.
