Usage
[edit source]Use this template to link to "This year in baseball" articles from a particular year. For example, {{Baseball year|1998}} or {{by|1998}} will create the following link: 1998.
There is an optional color param to set the text color: {{Baseball year|1998|color=purple}} or {{by|1998|color=purple}} will create the following link: 1998.
This template should not ordinarily be used in prose text. Such use is contrary to WP:EGG, and is likely to confuse readers. Instead, limit its use to tables, infoboxes, navboxes, and similar uses, where it is clear from the context that the link is to a particular year in baseball.
