Getting Started

The entire site is built around one simple action:

👉 Find a game and click I Was There

That one click imports the full game — every player, every stat, every result — and adds it to your personal archive instantly.

1. See Your Baseball Resume

Your Dashboard is your baseball résumé — a snapshot of everything you've witnessed across every game you've attended.

This is the fastest way to see just how deep your baseball history already is.

2. Add Games to Your Archive

The MLB Schedule page is where your archive starts. It’s sorted by date so you can easily scroll to the game you attended.

Click I Was There and the full box score is added to your history instantly.

3. Find Older Games

If you don’t remember the exact date, switch to the Team/Year view. Pick a season and a team to quickly track down games you attended.

This is especially powerful for digging into older games and filling in your archive.

4. Browse Your Game History

The Games Attended page is your complete history. Every game you’ve logged lives here — organized and searchable.

Click any game to relive it through the full box score.

5. Find Players You’ve Seen

Search for any player and instantly see how many times you’ve seen them play, along with every game they appeared in.

This is where your “I’ve seen that guy live” moments turn into real data.

6. Explore Your Stats

The Stats pages take your games and turn them into something bigger. Totals, trends, and performance across everything you’ve witnessed.

The more games you add, the more powerful this becomes.

7. Track Stadiums You've Visited'

Track every ballpark you’ve visited and visualize it on the map. This is your baseball travel history, mapped out.

From your home park to cross-country trips — it’s all captured here.

8. Explore Your Best Baseball Moments

Leaderboards show the best performances you’ve ever seen — both over time and in a single game.

Career Leaderboards

Who have you seen the most? Who has delivered the most hits, home runs, or strikeouts in your games?

Single-Game Leaderboards

These highlight the biggest individual performances you’ve witnessed — monster games you were actually there for.

Team Single-Game Leaderboards

See the biggest team performances from games you attended — explosive offenses and dominant pitching outings.

As your archive grows, deeper stats and expanded leaderboards unlock even more ways to explore your history.

9. Discover All-Star Games You've Seen'

Browse All-Star Games and see which All-Stars you’ve witnessed in person. The checkmark shows players you’ve seen live.

10. Share Your Baseball Story

In Edit Profile, you can make your archive public and share your baseball history with others.

Show off your games, your stats, and your journey.

11. Chase Active Players

One of the most popular ways to use The Ballpark Witness is to track the players you have not seen yet.

The Player Chaser tools compare your game history against current rosters and identify active players that are still missing from your archive.

  • Track active MLB players you haven't seen
  • Find All-Stars and award winners still on your list
  • Follow 40-man rosters
  • Monitor top prospects moving through the minors
  • Discover new chase opportunities throughout the season

Every game attended can bring you closer to completing a roster, seeing a future Hall of Famer, or crossing another player off your list.

The Big Picture

Every game you add builds something bigger — a complete record of your baseball life.

  • Your games
  • Your players
  • Your stadiums
  • Your stats
  • Your leaderboards
