Description Using the Twitter Search API, which allows 180 queries per 15-min window, we compiled a dataset of tweets related to Japan's 2013 Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) games, including at least one hashtag of NPB teams such as #giants (Yomiuri Giants) and #rakuteneagles (Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles). This hashtag-based crawling with multiple crawlers allowed us to obtain the nearly-complete data regarding these sporting events: 528,501 tweets surrounding 19 baseball games from the Climax Series (the annual playoff series) and from the Japan Series (the annual championship series) in the 2013 NPB. We also collected tweets related to Major League Baseball (MLB) games in 2015, including at least one hashtag of the MLB teams such as #Yankees and #BlueJays. We sampled 730,142 tweets from 17 games of New York Yankees from September 11 to 27, 2015.
