Since we're on the topic of baseball, it might be interesting to certain
people that some baseball related ftp servers are up and running which
contain box scores and other statistics. The sites are:

(for ftp) etext.archive.umich.edu (directory pub/Sports/Baseball)
(on WWW) http://www.nando.net/baseball/bbserv.html

I haven't checked out the Web site, but I believe it's separate from the
U of Michigan site. There is also a new Usenet group rec.sports.baseball.data,
which presumably is intended for posting, or pointers to, data sources. I
have not found an Internet site that maintains baseball salary data, as Dr.
Snell originally asked for, but some well placed questions might yield a
source or two :-)

Some time ago, there was a baseball archive at wuarchive.wustl.edu, but I
was unable to confirm this recently because it seems to be overloaded quite
often :-). Perhaps others can (dis)confirm this. The FAQ list of
rec.sport.baseball might also provide additional sources unmentioned here,
if one exists (?).
