Emerald Guide
The Emerald Guide is a baseball guide and almanac that was published by the Society for American Baseball Research and 24/7 Baseball, LLC.
Conceived by Gary Gillette, Rod Nelson, Ted Turocy, and Pete Palmer of 24/7 Baseball LLC, its first edition was published covering the 2007 season, with an edition covering 2006 released at the same time, filling the gap left when The Sporting News Baseball Guide ceased publication. SABR became a co-publisher in 2009, and published the guide annually until the availability of professional statistics on the internet made the guide no longer necessary.
A printed copy of the guide was available only as a Print on Demand (POD) online order, although SABR also made complete PDF downloads of the book available free to the public.
The guide covered all or nearly all information formerly available in the Sporting News Guides.
