Giants are paying him 11.5 million this year. It's hardly the Ryan Howard fiasco, but still...

To all members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR),

On behalf of Major League Baseball and MLB Advanced Media, we would like to extend a special invitation for you to have first access to BaseballMemoryLab.com, a collaboration of MLB’s Origins Committee and MLB.com. Focusing on the intersection of personal history and baseball, BaseballMemoryLab.com initially will spotlight two aspects of the game’s history – the origins and evolution of baseball and fan-submitted memories and recollections.

Origins

Stemming from the MLB Origins Committee’s work, which began in March 2011, BaseballMemoryLab.com will publish content regarding the origins of the game. The first major feature, Early Baseball Milestones, will tell the story of major events across baseball’s historic timeline, dating as far back as 2500 B.C. The works are used, with permission, from Protoball’s Working Chronology of Early Ball Play and have been edited by Larry McCray and yours truly, John Thorn.

Baseball Memories

The broadest focus of BaseballMemoryLab.com’s mission will be to build a community in context with baseball’s history through its collection of memories and collaborative discussions. Fans will be able to share their personal reflections and photos, tagging them by favorite game, player, team, ballpark, and/or region, ultimately creating the most comprehensive portal housing baseball memories. We plan to extend the surrounding content for each submission to be tied to relevant boxscores, play by play, photos and videos, as applicable. Each fan’s submission (after review) will become a permanent exhibit on BaseballMemoryLab.com.

What You Can Do

We are in the early stages of seeding memories for BaseballMemoryLab.com in advance of the forthcoming global release. Please share a memory of yours (or several) to test the platform and help record the first collections for BaseballMemoryLab.com.

If you have any comments, questions or feedback, you can reach out to us at BaseballMemoryLab@mlb.com. We look forward to your submissions and thank you for your participation.

Sincerely,
John Thorn
Official Historian, MLB

They did this for the Nats new stadium as well, I'm guessing it's like a trial run of the stadium operation for a real game.
