    Thumbs up data visualization + sports stats = infojocks

    Really cool site if you love statistics and/or data visualization. It appears to be a fairly new site, and here's an example of their work (I'm hoping Flickr allows hotlinking):

    I love me some sports stats and graphs, so the concept of Infojocks is really cool. However, the graphs themselves are a little sloppy. I didn't look at them too carefully, but I noticed that they show the Diamondbacks with 2 championship losses and the Rays with 1 championship win. Neither of those ever happened. On their most recent post, the same graph done for the Super Bowl, they show the Broncos with 1 championship win (they should have 2).

    Minor quibbles... I'm be interested to see if they ever do anything with college basketball.
