I've searched high and low for an easily searchable and printable baseball database for a while now. Specifically, I need all players who appeared in a Major League game from 1950-1999. The closest I've come is Sean Lahman's baseball database which I have been told is such as we're looking for. The database requires Microsoft Access or another SQL client. I tried it about a year ago, downloaded the file and purchased an SQL client from the Apple store (was about $30 if I recall). In the end my computer illiteracy prevented me from getting it work although I didn't try exceptionally hard and honestly forgot it until your post. Supposedly this is what you are looking for: http://www.seanlahman.com/baseball-archive/statistics/

Other than this database I found nothing. I started threads here, at CU, at Blowout, and at FCB. I also emailed Elias, MLB, and ESPN Stats offering to pay or donate a fair amount if they had such a file I could have a copy of.... Nada.

Good luck and if you happen to find what you are looking for or get the Lahman database to work and discover it is what you need I'd like to know.
