Visualization of the careers of the top 20 baseball players

Visualization of the careers of the top 20 baseball players

My submission shows the cumulative totals for a variety of baseball statistics for the top 20 position players (as measured by baseball-reference WAR, 1901-present), as a function of year. The chart includes a number of interactive elements to help navigate the information, which I hope are self-explanatory and discoverable.

By showing the totals as a function of time, over a baseline of approximately 115 years, we get a relatively sparse graph, and a fair amount of blank space. I considered trying to condense the chart, but I feel this representation is meaningful and gives a visual sense of the vast span of time that baseball data encompasses; there are very few areas where we have data as detailed and numerous, over such a long time span, as we have for baseball. One of the the things I love about baseball is that behind the numbers and the statistics are people and personalities and a time and place in American history; Babe Ruth didn't just hi

letter-to-letter network

A visualization of letter-to-letter network data. This was created for the University of Illinois Coursera class on data visualization.

These data were obtained from the SCOWL (Spell Checker Oriented Word Lists) database, available here, http://wordlist.aspell.net. I generated a medium-sized database of English words, capital words, and abbreviations, and then computed the number of occurrences of letter #1 being succeeded by letter #2. The nodes are connected by chords, and the width of the chords represents the fraction of links from letter #1 that terminate on letter #2. The angle of the arc for each letter represents the fraction of all letters. Hovering the mouse on an arc highlights the links from that arc and fills the table with the letter-to-letter fractions. Hovering the mouse on a chord displays the letter-to-letter fractions.
