Actually that data was already available from the Lahman database. our dirty secret is that we don't do much of the research that goes into figuring out the numbers. I like to say we put a friendly face on the numbers.

To find out where the numbers came from I recommend Alan Schwarz book, "The Numbers Game" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F8HC9WM/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?ie=UTF8&btkr=1
The real heroes are Pete Palmer, Retrosheet, David Neft and many many others.

I did the entire site all by myself for 15 years. Hans Van Slooten took over last spring and I was kicked upstairs. A lot of the ideas are from Bill James, Pete Palmer, Tango Tiger and others, but I implemented them all.

If you want to learn about baseball history from a statistics viewpoint, the Numbers Game is really great.
