Template:Infobox baseball biography/doc

This template can be used to add at-a-glance comparative information to articles on professional baseball players in any league. It is derived from Infobox MLB player, which now redirects here.

Team colors are added to the infobox automatically when a team is entered into the team field. The colors are taken from Module:Sports color/baseball.
