The five main tools for the Baseball-Reference.com Play Index are:

The Batting or Pitching Season Finder. This tool allows you to search full-season or multi-year totals to find your own custom leaderboards. You can look at the entire history of baseball from 1871-2012 with every year, team, and position available, or you can filter the results in a vast number of ways: by specific years, by age, by first six seasons or last ten seasons, by American League only, by Cubs only, by switch-hitters, by catchers, by outfielder or infielder, by year of debut, but active or retired, by Hall of Famer, by height and weight, by living or deceased, or by a range of common statistical categories. Then you can sort the results by any common statistic, by the teams with the most players matching that category, by players with the most seasons matching that category, or by most recent, youngest, oldest, final year, or year of debut, and others.
The Batting or Pitching Game Finder. This tool allows you to search player game totals (think 4 for 5 with 3 RBI, or 10-SO shutouts) filtering on any of a dozen or more choices. This can be done either on a single player level or on any batter from nearly sixty years or on any pitcher. The same can be done for Team Batting or Team Pitching Totals.
The Batting or Pitching Streak Finder. This tool allows you to search player games looking for the most consecutive games matching a particular set of criteria. This can be done either on a single player level or on any batter from nearly sixty years or on any pitcher. The same can be done for Team Batting or Team Pitching Streaks. Note that when searching for batters, you should limit your searches to 10-15 years when searching through all games.
The Batting or Pitching Event Finder. This tool is player specific and will out put a detailed summary and play-by-play list of all events of a specific type from a single year or an entire career. For example, you can see all of Harmon Killebrew's triples or even his outs to the second baseman.
The Batter vs. Pitcher Tool. This tool presents a complete sortable list of batter or pitcher with totals for every opponent they faced by career or by year. Clicking on the player's name will lead you to a detailed output of their head-to-head plate appearances.

Griffith Stadium - history, photos and more of the Washington Senators former ballpark

The site that Griffith Stadium stood for 50 years was the site where several other ballparks were located. The National League Washington Senators originally played at National Park in 1892. However the National League club went bankrupt and the new Washington Senators were formed as part of the newly formed American League in 1894. Built of mainly wood, National Park burned while the team was at spring training on March 17, 1911. However, a new ballpark was immediately constructed of steel and concrete. The stadium was not completed by opening day, July 24, 1911, but a single deck was completed. By mid season in 1911, the ballpark was completed. The grandstand extended around homeplate and down the baselines, and a second deck extended around homeplate and the infield. Bleachers extended from the left field foul pole to centerfield. Once completed the capacity at the ballpark was 27,410. A presidential box was constructed near the first base dugout for the President of the United States. William Howard Taft became the first President to attend baseball games and to throw out the opening pitch. The outfield wall at National Park varied in height (from 4 to 12 feet) and was very quirky. Centerfield jutted into the outfield because of a huge tree and five houses that owners would not sell to the team.

The same year, the stadium was expanded for the only time during its existence. The grandstand was double decked to both the left and right field foul lines. However, the new second deck of Griffith Stadium did not connect to the original grandstand because the original stands were graded differently. Griffith Stadium remained unchanged after this addition. The scoreboard was in right field and made up part of the 30ft. high outfield wall. The bullpens were located in right centerfield and the first night game at Griffith Stadium was on May 28, 1941. In the late 1950s, the Washington Senators began to drop in the standings leading to a decline in attendance at Griffith Stadium. Owner Calvin Griffith began looking to relocate the team. Griffith decided to move the Senators to Minneapolis’s Metropolitan Stadium after the 1960 season. Baseball was back again at Griffith Stadium the next year as MLB placed an expansion franchise in DC. The new Washington Senators played at Griffith Stadium for one season in 1961 before moving again, this time to the new D.C. Stadium. The last game played at Griffith Stadium was on September 21, 1961. The stadium was demolished in 1965 and is now the site of Howard University Hospital.
