The addition of the 1957 IL completes our run of the 1950s top-level minor leagues, which have now all been proofed. This does not mean that these statistics are the last word on that era, however. There remain many opportunities for researchers to get involved in improving our knowledge of that important era; for instance, most of those leagues lack complete team pitching statistics, and less-thans are missing for many as well.  The project has published the "current best available" statistical information, and we're committed to improving continually on that solid foundation with the help of the research community.
