That's very helpful, thank you.

If you could export PF-R's data, it wouldn't be that hard to add who has possession.

So we can basically get at 1994-2024, which is great.

Data is spotty pre-1960. But 1960-1993 would be a worthwhile cause, I feel.

FWIW, This is what the spreadsheets I have look like, which is very close but not identical to the PBP on PF-R. Again, I don't know where I got these, exactly, or who did them (surely someone here did), but consistency would be something to consider.

Massive project but I think it would be worthwhile. I don’t know that there are enough years left to get it done. One big issue I see is that there was no consistent format for these things for years. They would not only require digitization but translation into a consistent format. The data would b...

Randy Hedberg has entered the chat.

If the Pistols existed today, this would be one of their several alternate looks, maybe.

I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that.

I love the idea of the Elam Ending....for basketball. Basketball has evolved/strayed so far from what it once was (yes, I'm old) that why not go total freak show? At least for their stupid in-season tournament. Or preseason games and whatever Frankenstein All-Star game they gin up to mask the fact t...
