Fortunately, the good folks at #Retrosheet have RECONSTRUCTED, from news reports, expanded box scores of that #WorldSeries between the #Monarchs and the #Grays. Take a look at Game 2.

Baseball HandbookDec 8, 2023

The 2023 play by play data has now been made available at:

https://www.retrosheet.org/game.htm

This data model used data from #retrosheet to make yearly day by day snapshots from 1903-2022. Today starts the laborious compile of their 2023 data and importing it into the database here.

Retrosheet.org is an amazing baseball historical resource described in detail here:
https://www.mlb.com/news/the-history-of-retrosheet

This thread will cover how the sausage is made each December to build a historical year database.
