More graphs than you can shake a stick at.

I love these graphs. One of my hopes is that, over time, sites will start to integrate stats with graphs like these. Wouldn't it be neat if Baseball Reference pulled up a graph next to the numbers when you looked up certain things?

Adam, I've been thinking of creating historic FIP and DER graphs. I'll do that and hopefully post them on my site over the weekend, and leave a message here when I do.

BTW, there are also some neat graphs on this page:

I particularly like the graphs of cumulative W/L records of the eight original major league teams.

OK, I did it. You can find FIP and DER line graphs at the home page link, as well as a few other graphs I thought of.

Actually, this article turned out to be really interesting, I think. Beyond what I originally imagined. Please leave any comments you might have.
