I think this is a new feature with the Google Knowledge Graph. Spotted via Dr. Pete Meyers of Moz on Twitter – you can now find sport team rosters for baseball, basketball, soccer, hockey, etc when searching for a team name.

Here is a search for the [NY Mets] – yes, finally after dozens of years they are doing well.

You can scroll through the roster and even click on a player’s name to get their knowledge graph.

I think this is new, so does Pete.

Forum discussion at Twitter.

Update: I screwed up, this is old.
