Project 2- Data Visualization

I have said before that my version of heaven would to be in a room for eternity with cabinets full of baseball statistics, so when I had the opportunity to turn spreadsheets full of baseball data into a graph it was heaven on Earth. For this project I took a spreadsheet that listed all MLB teams next to their wins, losses, runs scored, and runs allowed in the 2016 season. I then plugged that data into a program called Raw Graphs that gave me what seemed to be endless options of graphs and ways to present this data. I ended up choosing to go with a tree graph in attempt to show the relation between Wins and Runs scored, and Losses and Runs allowed. The first number is how many games a team won, the second number is how many runs they scored that year. The third number is how many runs they allowed and the final number is how many games they lost. This graph can better analyze how each division in baseball is different due to the runs scored win ratio is different with each team, the same for runs allowed and loss ratio.
