## Output directly from the FieldingOF data
## Barry Bonds (no records: post-1955 player)

## One way to get OF game information from the Fielding data
## Note: OF games != sum(LF, CF, RF) because players can switch
## OF positions within a game. Players can also switch from
## other positions to outfield during a game. OF represents
## the number of games a player started in the outfield.
Fielding %>%
select(playerID, yearID, stint, POS, G) %>%
filter(POS %in% c("LF", "CF", "RF", "OF")) %>%
tidyr::spread(POS, G, fill = 0) %>%
filter(playerID == "trumbma01")
#> playerID yearID stint OF
#> 1 trumbma01 2010 1 1
#> 2 trumbma01 2011 1 11
#> 3 trumbma01 2012 1 97
#> 4 trumbma01 2013 1 27
#> 5 trumbma01 2014 1 41
#> 6 trumbma01 2015 1 42
#> 7 trumbma01 2015 2 46
#> 8 trumbma01 2016 1 96
#> 9 trumbma01 2017 1 31
#> 10 trumbma01 2018 1 19
## Another way is through the Appearances data (no stint).
## Provides a somewhat nicer table than the above.
## Mark Trumbo (active player)

## A slightly better format, perhaps
