Being unable to find bbref's main players stat page

[ghostrunner]

This happens to me so much I don't know why I haven't bookmarked it. I've spent 15 minutes clicking page after page trying to find it. The big sortable spreadsheet page with the stats for all the current players. If I remember it's below an initial set of league stats but I'll be damned if I can find it.

It's practically the only thing I ever go there for and every time I have trouble. I don't know why there's not a link that goes right to it off the main page. Or maybe there is and I just don't know it.


Edit- Dammit, there it is. Where it says "stats:bat"

I get misled by the links across the top every time too.

I think the navigation of Baseball Reference is awful. I always have difficulty finding what I want. The link names are so ambiguous at times.

I approve of this rant.

Navigating BBRef is like navigating the old city neighborhood in Tangier with a burlap sac over your head.

I also approve of this rant. Hockey-reference is even worse. It is sad that for some stats I prefer to go to ESPN.com, because at least I can figure out how to easily find them. Seriously--ESPN.com. X-reference.com, get your stuff in order.

Wanted to find batting and fielding stats for only the first basemen. Can't see a way to do it.

By contrast, Fangraphs makes this very easy. Only drawback with Fangraphs is that you often get a run of stat abbreviations across the top that are meaningless if you don't stay on top of this stuff, and BBref gives you a popup. Fangraphs does that on the player pages, but not on the leaderboards, so you've got to go open another page to find out what they mean.

The only way to do it (search/sort by position) on bbref is, sadly, through the play index, and you have to subscribe to get the full list.
