baseball-id 0.0.2

Lookup baseball players by their ID at various data sources like MLB, Yahoo!, CBS, ESPN, and FanGraphs.

Do you analyze baseball data from several sources and need to find a way to correlate it for the same player? The owners at https://crunchtimebaseball.com publish a map for this purpose. With the map you can take a player from Yahoo! and cross reference with data from sites such as http://baseball-reference.com, http://fangraphs.com, http://www.seanlahman.com. This package gives you a way to access this map within Python. A set of APIs allow you to do lookup of players by a variety of different IDs.
