The Ballpark Witness is simple:

• Track every MLB game you’ve attended
• See every player you’ve watched live
• Build your personal baseball history

No spreadsheets. No guessing.

Just your archive.

The more games you add, the more your personal baseball history starts to take shape.
Simple input.
A lot of baseball history underneath.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

Every Ballpark Witness report starts with the same simple action:
Find the game.
Tap I Was There.
Add it to your archive.
That one click powers everything else — players seen, new players, All-Stars, milestones, stadium history, home runs, chasers, and deeper reports.

Kyle Schwarber hit four HRs in a game before he ever hit four singles in one. But there must be a first for everything.

Story on his night playing small ball in a big Phillies win:

"Heck, I'll take singles any day of the week versus making outs."

@flash_Holcomb I know.

Postgame from Phillies vs. White Sox — and this one turned into a great archive night.
A game that looked pretty ordinary on the schedule ended up producing a ton of notes.
The biggest one: tonight became my 33rd multi-home run game, thanks to Randal Grichuk going deep twice.

A random game turns into roster turnover, player history, milestone tracking, a 2-HR game from a journeyman, and another set of baseball memories saved to the archive.

Kyle Schwarber didn’t homer, but he still had a 4-hit night — the 20th time I’ve seen a player record 4+ hits
First time seeing Luisangel Acuña since I saw his MLB debut
This is exactly why I built The Ballpark Witness.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

15 new players seen
My 7th White Sox game
I saw the White Sox two years ago, and now there’s basically been complete roster turnover
Coming in, I had only seen 3 players on their current roster before — and all 3 were with other teams
My 6th Brandon Marsh home run witnessed

@pushkinthelimit Nice!

Tonight’s Ballpark Witness development session takes me on location at Citizens Bank Park.
Phillies vs. White Sox.
A few notes from the archive before first pitch:
5th Jesus Luzardo start
7th White Sox game
6th time seeing Randal Grichuk
5th different team seeing Grichuk with

That last one feels like the definition of a baseball journeyman stat. I would not have pulled that from memory walking into the park. The archive did. Before first pitch, there’s already a story hiding in the data.
No coding tonight. Just some in-person data gathering.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

Added All Star and HOF markers to the Draft Picks board this morning before heading to the park.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

The Ballpark Witness dev team will be conducting field research in Philadelphia this weekend.
Objectives include:
✅ Watching baseball
✅ Eating ballpark food
✅ Watching more baseball
✅ Gathering important fan experience data
Additional findings will be added to the archive.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

Maybe I can knock this out in that week's multiple events.....hmmmm....

There’s going to be a signature food item at the All-Star Game 👀

@RetroCardSnaps 84 Fleer. Score didn't even include a team on front.

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

@Rojas_Media_ It appears so. Shame

[The Ballpark Witness @BallparkWitness]

Now that the player data exists, there are a lot of possibilities ahead:
⚾ First-round draft picks
⚾ College teammates
⚾ Players from your hometown
⚾ Draft classes by year
⚾ Future HOF candidates
⚾ Veteran and retirement chasers
What player lists would you want to see?

One of the most requested features I've had since the early days of The Ballpark Witness has been a way to identify the true baseball one-of-ones.
Not Hall of Famers.
Not All-Stars.
Players selected #1 overall in the MLB Draft.
