Welcome to the Fair-Credit Baseball Website (hereafter FCB). This site was created by Prof. Michael McBride of the Department of Economics at the University of California, Irvine, with the generous support of Steve Borowski.

- Teaches users of the site to use and understand the fair-credit baseball statistics.
- Publishes pre-calculated fair-credit baseball statistics.
- Calculates fair-credit baseball statistics for users who supply their own play-by-play baseball data.
