Background
The Project for the Chronicling of British Baseball (Project Cobb) grew out of the Great Britain Baseball
Scorers Association (GBBSA), which formalized its efforts to record and preserve domestic and national team
statistics with the launch of its website on 1 March 2008. Project Cobb was launched on 20 October 2008 to
unify the work of the GBBSA with other efforts to chronicle and research the game's history in Britain.
Objectives
Project Cobb has two overarching aims: (1) to promote the range of efforts to publish historical details of baseball
played in Britain under modern rules; (2) to support the preservation of baseball history in Britain as it happens.
How you can help
There is a variety of ways in which you can help Project Cobb. Browse the "Historical materials", "Research zone",
