Every time I try to search baseball reference, it brings back strictly 2016 players. I can't get any player's pages that aren't in 2016, and I can't see their stats outside of 2016. This just started this morning, and it happens in both Chrome and Firefox. I cleared my cache/cookies, and still got the same result in Chrome. I googled and checked B-ref's web site, but I couldn't find the answer.

Anybody know what the issue is and how I fix it?

Per their twitter account, they know there's a problem.

I'm glad you posted this, I searched for Pete Rose earlier and it returned no results. If you search for the player on Google the bref page link will bring you to the right place, but their internal search appears broken

I had not checked their Twitter.

I noticed the Google search was working as well, so I couldn't figure out what the issue was. I figured I had changed something in my search settings last night.

Thanks, guys.
