This is interesting. I've watched the gameday (and the ESPN equivalent) on
the internet, and it's interesting to see the data stream. I separated the pitches into three categories (three series): balls, called strikes, and swings. The series are somewhat grouped together, but not in any pattern I could discern. Nothing resembling a strike zone. I'm not sure what the measurements are, either. X ranges from 59 to 122. If those are inches, then it's 5 to 10 feet; if centimeters, then it's 2 to 4 feet, which might be reasonable. Y ranges from 90 to 175, which if that's inches relates to 7.5 to 14.5 feet, or if it's cm it's 3 to 5.75 feet, reasonable though the lower end is high. I think you're going to have to do a bit of research. Go to Google or to the GameDay blogs, or contact the writers at The Hardball Times, and see how they translate these numbers into pitch locations. Good luck, it looks like fun. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ wrote in message ups.com...

That link discusses what X and Y are, and I suspect it's X and Y in the
"old" game day system, so it's not in inches, feet, cm, or any other system an outsider would be familiar with. The newer ("enhanced") game day system includes more info on each pitch, like velocity and position when it leaves the pitcher's hand and when it crosses the plate, and more. The XML files you referenced did not have this extra information. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ wrote in message oups.com...
