Baseball-Reference.com is a website providing statistics for every player in Major League Baseball history. The site is often used by major media organizations and baseball broadcasters as a source for statistics.

The website, which came online in April 2000 after first being launched in February 2000 as part of the website for the Big Bad Baseball Annual, has year-by-year team pages, a baseball encyclopedia (the bullpen), box scores from every MLB game back to 1957, and minor league player stats back to 1992. The Oracle of Baseball can link any two players by common teammates. The Oracle of Baseball is based on the Oracle of Bacon website.

Developer Sean Forman was a math professor at Saint Joseph's University before taking on this project full-time.cite web|url=http://www.sports-reference.com/about.shtml|publisher=sports-reference.com|title=About Sports Reference: Primary goal, history, and team|accessdate=2008-09-29]
