+ 2025 Boxscore data has been refreshed on the site. Game notes were added. Play-by-play was added. Daily Standings were updated. The project is not fully complete yet. More small updates to come!

+ Added all scans for the 1970 Topps baseball card set. 720 cards. There are 24,687 card scans currently on the site. Check out the Baseball Cards section.

+ Thanks to "AD" and "SO" for new TBC PREMIUM subscriptions. Thanks to "DF" for renewing TBC PREMIUM for another year! Yay!! Finally, a thanks to "SO" for purchasing attendance history from the Data Store. Since he's a new subscriber, he got a 25% discount.

+ Added a country flag to player pages next to their place of birth.

> I don't know why but data entry is a source of fuel for me. Maybe it has numbing properties. Maybe its a distraction. Maybe its getting lost in long YouTube videos or podcasts. Lucky for me since that's a large% of this job!

> I decided to shovel my own driveway this year after years of paying a snow-removal company. The result? Winter has arrived early in Montreal. I am about to go outside and shovel snow for the 2nd time today. I do love it. I do enjoy being outside and listening to Baseball America podcasts while I shovel. Relying on someone else required some coordination and rapid-fire responses to the city plow blocking the driveway and the subsequent arrival of our snow-removal company. In that small window, we (me) had to go run outside and brush off the cars and then move them to the road. I have done it 10x so far and its 2 weeks from winter. So far, don't regret it but I guess we'll see when the first real blizzard hits.

Dynamic list of the top 25 youngest Major Leaguers currently on an active roster. Free agents are not included but will be added once signed.

The list will also include injured or temporarily de-activated players (during season).

+ Added a new data product to the Data Store. I call it College Stats All. Its all the college stats I have since 2017 for all divisions. From D1 to JUCO and everything in between.

+ Speaking of College Stats, thanks to "CT" for purchasing some D1 College Batting/Pitching stats. They purchased 2006-2008.

+ The "Teammates" tab on player pages lists all of a player's teammates for a given season. Here's Justin Verlander teammates over the course of his 20 years. JV just hit 20 years of Service Time!

+ Speaking of Service Time, I'm hard at work preparing the 2025 (or pre-2026) values.

+ Also working on 2025 MLB Boxscores, refreshed from Retrosheet.Org data.

+ Also working on updating College Baseball rosters for the upcoming 2026 seasons. A few steps forward each day. This one's a biggy.

> "One More Time" by Daft Punk got me today. At 2:22 of the song. When it changes from heavy beats to something else. I listened over and over. I couldn't stop. It just got me. Out of nowhere. Incidentally, my Spotify age is 22, according to my Spotify unwrapped. My 21 old daughter was in her 60s.

> I'm working from a library today in an adjacent town. A big one. A new one. The ceilings go on forever. I went to the old one. I got a 301 redirect. It was gone. The door redirected me here. I updated my brain.

I parked far. Winter is early. It was cold. "Cold wind blowing over your private parts". I put on my hood. Always have a hood in Canada.

There are workstations facing outside. Plugs on the floor. Wifi. There are people seated up against the windows. It is dead quiet. I try to set up quietly but I can't. I'm incapable. My water bottle clunks to the table like a WW2 mortar. My boots squeak like 1000 ICQ notifications. Uh oh. My AirPod case lands a bit loud. But I look around. Everyone has headphones. They can't hear s**t. Nobody can hear anything. Anyone. Its quieter than quiet. Its scary quiet. Nobody likes scary quiet.

The chair has no back. Well yes, it does. A low back. A lip if you will. My jacket is hanging on the lip at the back of the chair. It looks strange. It feels strange. I go to lean back at one point and a jolt of adrenaline corses through my veins when I remember there is no back. Just the lip. Laughing at me. I start to get uncomfortable. Fidgety. I miss the back to my chair. I shut the laptop.

I pack up quietly. I ICQ to the stairs and lift my hood, and it blows right off my head the moment I step outside, One More Time.

+ Added 2025 Arizona Fall League Statistics to the AFL section. Stats now available for 1999-2025 (minus 2020). 253 players participated this year. Each of the 6 AFL teams are supplied by 5 MLB organizations. Kevin McGonigle is your 2025 MVP.

+ Added a new baseball list for Oldest Active Major League Baseball Players. Bookmark it. Its updated dynamically. It will be accurate 2 years from now as much as it is today. Its the 6th list in the Baseball Lists section. Trying to add 2-3 per week.

+ Started the process of updating 2025 boxscore-level data. Games data has been updated with additional information. Although we capture stats during the MLB season, not all fields are captured. This end-of-season will bring 2025 into line with 2024 and other seasons.

+ Thanks to "LB","EM","TL" for their TBC PREMIUM subscriptions. "LB" also bought some data. Service Time History (2015-2024), Recent D1 College Stats and player attributes for 2025 College Players. I love to work for you!

+ One last thanks to "DG" for submitting payment for updating his College Stats!

> My work brain is fast. Very fast. Too fast. My social brain is slow. Very slow. Too slow. My work brain is too fast for Microsoft applications. For web sites. It is too fast for computers in general. I press buttons before the application is ready for me. I try to click web site links before the page is fully loaded. I am 3 steps ahead. 5 steps ahead. I am already at the destination and my hands are fast enough to catch up but the apps have not yet caught up to me.

> Got into flow state at Starbucks yesterday. Had a mocha. There was xmas music. I texted my son. What do I have to do to get rid of this xmas music? You can't, he said. He works at this store you see. He suggested my AirPods. I'm not against Christmas. I'm also not Christian. I don't relate to the music. It is overwhelming to me. But I understand many others love the Christmas spirit. But I'm ADHD and this type of music is not ADHD music. At least not for me.

So I put the AirPods in and tried my "Relaxing Vibes" playlist and it wasn't doing it for me. I switched to my Running list. The techno stuff. The Rave beats. The repetition. We had liftoff. I worked for 3 straight hours with this playlist and the Mocha working together. And I got to that state where I wasn't doing the thing. I was the thing.

For me, that is the goal. Flow. Always Flow. Only Flow.

The list will also include injured or temporarily de-activated players (during season).

+ I added a note about the TBC+ Metric under relevant data grids.

+ I also fixed the sorting for the TBC+ Metric on stat pages. Those with an asterisk (minimal sample size of data) are now sorted below those who I deem qualified for full value on the metric. But both groups will now be sorted separately and correctly.

+ I added 2 listings for 1979 Topps cards in the TBC Baseball Card Store. 1979 Topps 1-395 and 1979 Topps 396-726. In both cases, you pay a flat shipping rate for as many cards as you like.

+ There are a couple of 🔥 auctions going at the Store. I have a Trey Yesavage 2025 Blue Ice Prizm and a Cam Smith 2025 Topps Update Orange Foil #'d 01 out of 25.

+ Finally, thanks to "CT" for his purchase of D1 College Statistics. He asked for a subset so I charged $25 for 3 years.

+ A few people have also reached out recently about adding themselves to high school lists or even adding their stats to the database. Please Let me know if you're interested in adding information. I ask for a small payment (you choose $) to pay for the work.

> I worked in the car yesterday. In the Adirondacks. Weaving through the 87. It was gray. Low clouds. Charcoal skies. Filmy windshield. It was a black and white painting with spots of vibrant red lights from the cars on the road ahead. It was mostly unproductive since Internet service is worse than the late 1990s. The only thing missing was the sound of static. Random disconnections? Check.

We brought the kid back to school after her Thanksgiving break for the final stretch of her 7th college semester. The 8th will be her Senior softball season and then she will return to Canada. She loves softball. I am worried about her post-softball life but I am electing to trust in the universe.

We eat a breakfast supper at Cracker Barrel. I choose fried chicken and am disappointed. Cracker Barrel is the only restaurant I know of that also carries baseball cards. I see 2025 Topps Heritage. Some Topps Series 1 and 2. Other sports too. I used to buy mixed packs from the hanger rack on my side of the counter. Today there is only football. Last week there were Heritage packs hanging and I was ready to buy but today they are gone.

I am 0 for the last 7 Targets for baseball card hunting and so I ask for a GameStop instead. The wife, Mrs. Cube, takes me to a GameStop in Halfmoon. I run inside and find, behind the clouds of weed smoke, shelves full of cards. Topps Update, Panini Prizm, Bowman Chrome, Topps Chrome. There's more. I am ecstatic. I am high. But it could be the weed smoke.

I grab a Topps Update and Panini Prizm. Blasters. A teenage boy and his mother are at the counter. He is slightly overweight, has messy hair and a thin mustache. Glasses. He looks injured inside. He looks like I might have looked at his age. I was injured inside at his age. But I had sports and a young man with sports gets additional social privileges that a young man who plays video games, may not get. Especially in my day. But I see something in him. A sadness. A difficulty. Isolation. But I might be projecting.

I pay for the cards and head back to Mrs. Cube who is laughing at a TikTok when I get back in the car. We leave halfmoon behind and head for the border.

List of Major Leaguers with 50 home runs in a season. The list will be up-to-date as of most recent games. Players may appear on list during an active season.
