Baseball Reference Alexa Application

Описание: This is not a particularly entertaining video, I just wanted to demonstrate typical requests you can make to the Alexa Baseball Reference application that I developed.

You can view it in the Alexa Skill Store at the link below:
https://www.alexaskillstore.com/Baseb...

This application allows users to quickly and easily find the leaders in a variety of different statistics from the beginning of baseball.

Users are able to request a multitude of different statistics that can be further specified by rank (1-10), top amount (top two, top three, top four, etc.) year (1871 - present), and league (All of Baseball, National League or American League).

Here are some initial example requests:
-------------------------------------------
Alexa, ask Baseball Reference who is third in the National League in home runs.

Who leads the league in doubles?

Who lead the American League in wins in nineteen eighty six?

Who is the oldest player in the league?

Alexa, ask Baseball Reference, in nineteen ninety nine, who lead the league in home runs?

Who was top three in strikeouts?

Who was tenth in wins in the National League in nineteen seventy two
-------------------------------------------

Another feature available to users is that after a user makes a successful request and are prompted to ask another question, a user can build upon their previous request.


For Example:
-------------------------------------------
User Requests - "Alexa, ask Baseball Reference who was second in the National League in hits in nineteen eighty three"

Alexa Responds - "Rafael Ramirez was second in the National League with 185 Hits in 1983."

The user can now request a few things:

Next -
User Requests - "Who was next?"
Alexa Responds - "Al Oliver was third in the National League with 184 Hits in 1983."

Previous -
User Requests - "Who was previous?"
Alexa Responds - "Jose Cruz and Andre Dawson were tied for first in the National League with 189 Hits In 1983 ."

Rank -
User Requests - "Who was sixth?"
Alexa Responds - "Dickie Thon was sixth in the National League with 177 Hits In 1983."

Top -
User Requests - "Who was top three?"
Alexa Responds - "Jose Cruz and Andre Dawson were tied for first in the National League with 189 Hits In 1983. Rafael Ramirez was second in the National League with 185 Hits In 1983. Al Oliver was third in the National League with 184 Hits In 1983."
