Thanks to the sleuthing of Justin McKinney of the SABR Biographical Research Committee, a 'new' major league baseball player has been discovered. Previously, Joe Miller was listed as playing for (and managing) the Washington Nationals in 1872. This Miller later played with Keokuk and Chicago in 1875. McKinney's research determined that the Miller who played for the 1872 Washington club was actually William Miller, though. Furthermore, Joe Miller was not the manager. The manager was actually Bill Lennon, the team's catcher. The Bio Committee is still searching for more details on William Miller (like when and where he was born and died, his batting/throwing handedness, height/weight, etc).
Thank you to our friends at SABR for uncovering and sharing this discovery!

As of June 24, FBref has shut down the Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German versions of our website. The English language version of FBref will be unaffected by these changes and will be the default for all users.
We've made the decision to remove the foreign language versions of FBref, as these websites require a great deal of resources to maintain, and have not driven significant additional revenue. Additionally, free translation services have reached the point that a majority of our users will still be able to translate the English-language version of FBref into whatever language they need.
For our foreign language users, merci, gracias, danke, grazie, and obrigada for your support of our site. If you have any questions about these changes, feel free to reach out to our customer support team.

After many years of searching, we are pleased to announce that we have tracked down our white whale, of sorts: the 1980 Iona vs Holy Cross game in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament. For this game, we had never been able to track down full details on much of the box. Notably, we were missing FGA, Rebounds and Assists for most players. The box score looked like this:
