The database is free, but there are real costs associated with maintaining it and making it available for download. The more popular this site becomes, the more expensive it is to keep things going. Due to the popularity of this site, it costs thousands of dollars each year to operate our server.

We’re asking for voluntary, direct contributions for this service. We know that folks enjoy using the Lahman database based on the hundreds of people a day who download it. To guarantee the continued existence of this site and the free database, we’re asking you to make a financial contribution to support a something you find useful and interesting.

Please consider supporting us with any amount you choose, even if it’s only a few dollars. Every donation helps us to keep this thing going.

You can make your donation by visiting PayPal.com and paying any sum you choose. PayPal.com is a widely used payment service (popular with E-bay members and others) and they handle the entire transaction, so we never see any of your private financial data.  To choose this option, please use the payment button in the left hand menu.
