Looking for a specific type of stats database... (1 Viewer)

I want to be able to choose a day from last season (or any recent season) and see the aggregate stat total from that day. So on July 11th last year, what was pitcher X's ERA, WHIP, opponent, etc and what was hitter Y's average, RBI total, etc as of that day. Does anyone know of a stats database that lets you do this? It would be an incredibly powerful tool for developing and testing a system based on these stats. Rather than having to test a system over the course of a season, you would be able to test it over multiple previous seasons in a matter of minutes.

Bump just in case. The closest thing I've found is MLB.com will let you view the standings statistics from any given day of previous seasons, but nothing for specific players.

Amazing, that's everything I'll need. I wish they didn't use javascript to add the cumulative stats on the fly >.< Makes it impossible to parse, guess I'll have to do it manually.

Alternatively you could go download the Lahman Database, and load it into your enviroment of choice and query against it.

This Lahman db is awesome. Given Ryan Howard's current stats, I was wondering what the lowest BA ever was for a league RBI champ. Downloaded the db, a few clicks and I've got it (Harmon Killebrew, 1962, .2428)
