Yahoo Search Adds Baseball Shortcut
The Yahoo Search Blog announced a new baseball search shortcut. For example, a search on Prince Fielder, of the Milwaukee Brewers, shows up a shortcut with a picture, his number, team, real statistics for the year and fantasy league statistics, plus links to news, game log, scores, schedules and more photos and stats. Here is a picture:
Note, that a search on Barry Bonds is currently showing Yahoo News results for him, because news results, in this case, override the Yahoo baseball shortcut.

I think Live.com has had the shortcuts like these for quite some time now. Also, they have very good "define " definitions.

This is good.
Yahoo could woo me away from Google if they keep on doing things like this.
