Coolest Baseball Site Ever?

The Major League Baseball website allows you to look up the hitting patterns of any major league player. You can see where he hit singles, doubles, triples, and homeruns, as well as where he flies out or grounds out. I'm not sure if it has any practical use, but that's a completely secondary consideration.

Scratch that - it has a practical use: if you're actually involved in professional baseball, it may help you predict what a given hitter may do in a given ballpark, based on how he tends to hit the ball. Got a hitter who consistently flies out to the warning track in rightfield? You might want to put him in Yankee Stadium.

Speaking of Yankee Stadium, this is the chart for Jason Giambi, but you can go to player search and look up anyone you want. If you're a San Francisco Giants fan for example, you can look up where Barry Bonds hit his home run this year.

The site also allows you to look up batter vs. pitcher and all sorts of other stuff. It's a good place for a baseball geek to kill a morning.
