Baseball is all about statistics
Since it's July 1st, here are some highlights of the June statistics for this site...
Levi: It's not that I obsessively check this page. It's that I have assigned my assistant, as about 70% of her duties, to obsessively check it and write up reports for me.
Jim: Also, you can't really access the site anywhere but your office (unless you take your laptop, um, "warwalking"), whereas I can access it from my office, from home, and probably from my cell phone if I'm willing to pay 25 cents a minute. And I get new comments e-mailed to me, so I only have to check the site if I can't figure out the context of a comment (e.g., when I get an e-mail that tells me nothing but that Steve said "You're a regular Charlie Lau or whatever the hell that guy's name is."
- The busiest day was June 1st. The second-busiest day in terms of requests for pages was June 7th, but the second-busiest day in terms of actual page views was June 3rd.
- Tuesday was the busiest day of the week, followed by Wednesday, and then Monday and Thursday running neck and neck.
- The busiest hour was 10:00-11:00 A.M. Central time, followed closely by 7:00-8:00 A.M. There is a dramatic dropoff after the 2:00-3:00 P.M. hour.
- uchicago.edu leads the list of organizations visiting the site...specifically, press-dhcp-204126.uchicago.edu, which I assume is the computer in Levi's office. It's pretty far ahead of covad.net (me at home). Other Chicagoans are visiting the site via enteract.com and tribune.com, and I assume a lot of the comcast.net traffic is emanating from Chicago as well.
- Apparently, we were mentioned on the forums at sportingnews.com, but I can't figure out where.
- Most frequent search used to find the site: "http://www.baseballrelated.com." You know, you can just type that into your browser somewhere to find the site. Or maybe you like using Google as an intermediary.
- Other frequent searches: "steve kline tony larussa," "nolan ryan 235 pitches," "baseball jingles," "baseball activities," "ipod freezes," and, of course, "gary pappas shaves head."
- And it didn't show up on the monthly report because only one person used these search terms, but I think it's my favorite search of June: "how much does kirsten storms weigh." Less than me, I'm guessing!
