Putting it All Together
To see highly specific lists, add a lim-
iter
and some qualifiers to your re-
quests. You can add a limiter, a team
qualifier, and as many other qualifiers
as make sense up to 48 characters.
Your qualifiers can be in any order.
Advanced list requests often will be
longer than one screen and will pro-
duce a list of fewer than 50 players. In
this example, we’ll find pitchers with
the lowest earned run averages (MIN
ERA), who pitched more than 500 in-
nings (IP GT 500), played for the Cubs
(CUBS), played from 1980 through
1989 (80-89), and threw right-handed
(TR).
