Default Compiliing Data

I'm looking for an automatic way of compiling data; particularly baseball statistic for now. I really have no clue where to start or how I can just wake up next week and just have an excel spreadsheet with a load of MLB data. I'm familiar with php, though I don't how useful that would be. I'm guessing I'll have to look into some sort of programming.

Retrosheet.org for starters. Run their event files through their BEVENT command-line tool and now you have a comma-delimited description of every play. From their you may want to load into a mysql database.
