Okay, so, I wanted to look at the player stats from the recent Kansas City Royals vs. Baltimore Orioles game. You know, just to see how everyone did. It was a bit of a process, so I figured I’d share what I did.
First, I dug around for some recent news about the teams. I found out that the Orioles and Royals played each other a few times this year, and the Orioles won most of those games. I also read that the Orioles were in the playoffs, which is cool for them. There was also this news story about how the Royals actually beat the Orioles in a recent game, with a player named Bobby Witt Jr. playing a key role. That’s a name I’ll remember.
Then, I started looking for the actual game stats. I found this one website, it had the score and the date of the game, which was October 2nd. It mentioned that the Royals won 2-1. The attendance was 38698. Time of game was 3:04. It had everything laid out, play-by-play, which was really detailed. It even included the score for each inning.
But I wanted more than just the score. I wanted to know how individual players performed. So, I kept searching. Another site had a comparison of the two teams. It listed their all-time stats, like how many championships each team had won. The Orioles have some seriously great players. I recognized some names like Cal Ripken, Jr., Brooks Robinson, and a few others. They really have a strong history.
I found another site that had live scores and stats for the game on October 1st. It was like a live feed, updating in real time. I guess I could have used that during the game. However, after the game on October 2nd, I had enough information.
So, I compiled all the information I found. I made a little table for myself, with each player’s name, their position, and their stats from the game. I noted things like hits, runs, RBIs, and any errors. I even wrote down some notes about key moments in the game, like when Bobby Witt Jr. made that important play in the game on October 2nd.

It was a bit of work, but it was worth it. Now I have a pretty good overview of how each player did in that game. It’s always interesting to see the numbers behind the game, you know?
Game Summary

The game, which took place on October 2nd, saw an impressive turnout with 38,698 fans filling the stands.

The game was a testament to the unpredictable nature of baseball, keeping everyone on the edge of their seats until the very end.
