One thing to notice is that each network will have a slightly different (or radically different) shape, depending on how many (or few) players started in a single season. If the team was in the midst of a successful run, the radians will tend to be short, as fewer rookies or acquired players will debut. On the other hand, teams that are retooling will tend to have long radians, as there are many new players making the team. This could also be reflected in the number of players getting a September call-up from the minors.<\/p>\n<p>While these networks are pretty attractive to view as static images (IMHO), the real fun comes from the interactivity, where you can click, zoom, pan, and see all the details for who played with whom over the course of a franchise&#8217;s history. Note that this is based on seasonal rosters, so not all connections actually played together at the same time of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, check out a handful of examples, and then try them out yourself at the <a href=\"https:\/\/visual-baseball.com\/wordpress\/portfolio\/franchise-radial-networks-1901\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Franchise Radial Networks 1901-2019<\/a> page.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All 30 MLB Radial Networks are now complete, and available for you to explore.
