Spotlight: Baseball infographics Part I.

Well, with NHL and NBA wrapping up fairly spectacular playoff seasons (aside from the forgettable Lakers–Magic finals) and the NFL still filling the void before training camp with idle Favre chatter, American sports fans turn their attention to baseball for a few months. To try and make this yawnable event a bit more exciting, here’s a collection of baseball related infographics and visualizations I dug up for inspiration. Most people who follow the infographics community closely will recongize most of these, but they are still worth collecting all in the same place. Check back tomorrow for Part II, with infographic work from newspapers and a handful of interactive graphics.
