 1 | # SQLite Baseball Archive
 2 | 
 3 | Sqlite database files are now available only as releases.  Download the latest release [here](https://github.com/jknecht/baseball-archive-sqlite/releases/latest).
 4 | 
 5 | Thanks to the generous work of [Sean Lahman](https://www.seanlahman.com/baseball-archive/statistics), baseball geeks everywhere can 
 6 | analyze and play with baseball stats dating all the way back to 1871.
 7 | Unfortunately, this data is only published in MS Access or as a collection
 8 | of comma-delimited files.  For those of us who want to use a relational
 9 | database but can't install MS Access, we have to resort to other alternatives.
10 | 
11 | The fine folks over at baseball-databank.org convert this data to MySQL
12 | each year.  But again, there are those of us who prefer the simplicity
13 | of a file-based database rather than running a server.
14 | 
15 | So, here I present to you the Sean Lahman baseball database in SQLite format.
