4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Addition To Your Baseball Library, February 2, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Behind-The-Scenes Baseball: Real-Life Applications of Statistical Analysis Actually Used by Major League Teams...and Other Stories (Paperback)
The author has been a major league baseball statistical consultant. This book provides an insiders perspective to many interesting strategic questions. There are three parts to the book (1) stories drawn from the authors career (2) a general manager iq test that consists of 100 questions (3) a look at the Houston Astro's 2004 season. I think most any baseball fan would enjoy and benefit from this quick read.
