The Player Page I like has almost no information, what happens if I pick that one for my dedication?

There have been over 19,000 players in MLB history so populating them is a process.  If you want to dedicate a page that doesn’t have much content, we will prioritize that page and add images, career stats, noteworthy events and news, biographies, audio and video if available. We also do some cool back end tricks to help get the page found. Check out the before and after video and please understand it’s fans like you that are going to allow us to bring you this unique content!

 

Why are there duplicate posts?

This Day in Baseball has uploaded 5 various data bases and that has resulted in some duplicate content. FEAR NOT there is only one sponsorship per event. In cases where there are multiple pages they will be cleaned up with our priority being dedicated pages first as we make our way through the content. The initial uploads were completed on October 19, 2019. There are over 60,000 pages on thisdayinbaseball.com so please be patient on all unsponsored pages.

How do I find events? Players? Ball Parks?
