Description
|
|
|
|
In 1996, a team of brash young fans produced a guide to baseball statistics. Printed on a photocopier, its distribution was limited to friends, family, and die-hard stat heads. Sixteen years later, the Baseball Prospectus annual regularly hits bestseller lists and has become an indispensable guide for the serious fan. In Extra Innings, the follow-up to Baseball Between the Numbers, the team at Baseball Prospectus integrates statistics, interviews, and analysis to deliver 20 arguments about today's game. They take on everything from steroids to the amateur draft, probe the impact of managers on the game, and explain the critical art of building a bullpen. "A provocative book that looks at the game in ways not previously imagined.... These are the people making a huge impact on progressive front offices throughout the game."—Boston Globe
