The Seventh Inning Stretch
An Article Inspired by #BaseballViz2016
With just over two weeks left in this year’s Baseball Visualization Challenge, let take a brief opportunity to recap and throw out a new topic for conversation.
In Opening Day, we set the rules and focused on that intersection between baseball and data visualization.
We debated whether infographics need to include numbers and data to be truly excellent.
Our most popular article in this series examined a possible language divide in visualization and the role baseball plays in bridging the gap.
We examined the best platforms for sharing visualizations. Our team has since embraced Pinterest and Tumblr as our preference.
Last article we looked at the submissions from Doug Duffy and Joe Warbington. Our article featured their how-to insights on building online Business Intelligence tools.
So with seven articles behind us, lets look to close this challenge. What have been your favorite infographics shared so far? To vote, leave a comment here or on any of the Corsair’s platforms where our articles, videos, and visuals are shared.
And to make sure this article delivered a little something new, check out the latest submission at left. We’ve written before about Nate Silver and Bayes Theorem. So a new question — how well do forecasting and visualization integrate? Let us know.
Baseball Visualization Challenge is a concept created by Corsair’s Institute. Neither this competition nor Corsair’s Institute is not associated with the MLB in any way. Our visualization expertise is second to none. Our softball team loses in games where the other team forfeits.
