From WikiLeague, the free baseball governance encyclopedia.
WikiLeague is a read-only, single-source archive. The pages below describe how the archive is organized, what its editorial standards are, and how to cite documents that live here.
WikiLeague and the Baseball Documents Archive
WikiLeague is the public-facing site for the Baseball Documents Archive, a research collection of primary-source documents (CBAs, court rulings, congressional hearings, commissioner decisions, stadium agreements, and so on) that govern Major League Baseball. The two names refer to the same project from different angles:
- Baseball Documents Archive is the underlying repository — the governance documents at the project root, the per-document metadata files, the provenance log, and the curated PDFs. Citations to a document on this site attribute the work to the Baseball Documents Archive (see any document's Cite this page tab).
- WikiLeague is the read-only encyclopedia-style front-end you are reading right now. It renders the archive's documents and metadata in structured, browsable form.
Most readers do not need to distinguish them. The naming exists so that researchers citing a document have a stable, citable label (the Baseball Documents Archive) while ordinary readers have a recognizable destination (WikiLeague).
