Yahoo Adds Baseball Shortcuts

by Gilad on August 16th, 2007

As baseball season is heating up, Yahoo decided to make the life of the stat-buffs among us a tid-bit easier with their new Baseball Shortcuts. The original post calls this feature “Sports Shortcuts” but I could not locate any other sport besides baseball which triggered these shortcuts.

Here’s what you get when searching for Barry Bonds:

From the official announcement:

Unless you’re a huge sports fanatic, you may find it hard to keep up with all the new players in professional sports. I used to be pretty good at it back when I collected baseball cards, or when I was able to watch news and highlights every night. These days, I don’t have the time to track it all, especially with the increased action due to the salary cap, free agency and blockbuster trades. But let’s say I wanted to quickly check up on my favorite baseball players — maybe Ichiro or Dontrelle Willis. The new Sports Shortcut in Yahoo! Search will let me do just that.
