Sports Reference Today is the 33rd ever Sports Equinox! The NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB all have games.

The Sports Equinox is a term that refers to a day when the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB all have games. Usually this happens in October, when the NBA has just begun its regular season while, at the same time, the MLB is holding the World Series.

This is the second time a Sports Equinox has also included a WNBA game. Due to COVID rescheduling, there were three Sports Equinoxes in September of 2020, and a pair of WNBA second round playoff games landed on one of them—Sept. 17, 2020.

Sports Reference has compiled a list of every Sports Equinox! Note that, because the Sports Equinox is not an official term recognized by any league or body, this list is unofficial.

Post image
20 Upvotes

Big news! On Sports-Reference.com, you can now use our cross-site search bar to quickly find any player or active team on any Reference site! There's no Al, no paid results, just links to the stats and information you want to see.

This brand new search engine also has a couple major upgrades:

  • You can search for any player or active team on any Reference site
  • In addition to player names, you can now search for players by nickname!
  • Search has been upgraded to include a more forgiving "fuzzy search" capability, so don’t worry about perfect spelling

Search is just the first step in a reimagined Sports-Reference.com. Coming later this year, we'll launch Sports Reference Hub, a customizable home page that will change the way you navigate the Reference sites and follow your favorite sports and teams.

Sports Reference Detailed games statistics links on Wikipedia

2 Upvotes

Hi I am a Wikipedia editor under the name ILoveSport2006, who edits sports events including volleyball competitions. If you have recently used Wikipedia to follow the volleyball tournaments, you may have seen that a pages for the preliminary rounds of the Volleyball Nations Leagues were created to give detailed statistics of each game without needing to go on the FIVB links, which is something I thought volleyball needed as every other sport on Wikipedia has the same thing. I started well by completing week one of the Women's Volleyball Nations League, however, I have recently had problems with other volleyball editors on Wikipedia. These problems have come about due to the fact that I added links to each game of the VNL due to it being necessary, considering there are over 100 games in the Volleyball Nations League preliminary round. Plus the links makes it more practical for the user rather than scrolling to find the right one.

However, despite this being common practice in other sports Wikipedia pages, they have constantly reverted my edits regarding the links, saying that it increases the space used in the page making it more difficult to load. I did try to explain myself but every time I did, I was ignored. I tried to compromise, with what I did significantly reducing the space used, but that was deleted as well.

I am coming here to ask if you would you support having links to each detailed game to increase the practicality finding the right game? I can't debate with them because they are just ignoring my points, so I came here.

All I want to do is make the volleyball articles better as they've been bare in the past. If you liked the preliminary round pages, I am sorry I haven't updated them, the situation with the editors has made me feel very demoralised. Plus they nominated the articles for deletion which has severed my demoralised feeling.

Sports Reference Sports Reference adds new "Upcoming Milestones and Leaderboard Movement" pages on BR, BBR, PFR, and HR

16 Upvotes

There is a new page on the Sports Reference sites that list players who will realistically reach a specific milestone or pass someone on a leaderboard in their next 3 games.

For Milestones, you can see which players are approaching 500 career points, 1,000 career games played, etc.

For Leaderboards, you can see which players are on the verge of passing other greats on all-time lists like steals, home runs, etc.

As an example, here are a few things to watch out for!

  • Andrew Wiggins is 34 points away from 15,000 in his career
  • Kenley Jansen is 2 saves away from tying Lee Smith for 3rd on the all-time list
  • Nikita Kucherov is 1 assist away from 700 in his career
  • Derrick Henry is 1 rushing TD away from trying Marcus Allen for 3rd on the all-time list

Enjoy!
