Pappas, author They Tasted Glory—Among the Missing at the Baseball Hall of Fame • Pitchers don’t win or lose games • The won-lost record is one of baseball’s most deceptive numbers Anyone who wants to accurately rate a pitcher’s performance, in a single game, a season, or over an entire career cannot ignore PAPA—The Park Adjusted Pitching Average “Plawecki’s ground-breaking system of rating pitchers explodes conventional wisdoms about what it means to be truly great.

About the Author
Former Mic Mac League pitcher Mark J. Plawecki devised (PAPA) The Park Adjusted Pitching Average and details it in How Could You Trade Billy Pierce? And although this is a numbers book at heart, it is full of fascinating stories and personalities—all showing convincingly that baseball fans must re-think the careers and achievements of the game’s finest pitchers. The author, a graduate of Michigan State University and the Thomas M. Cooley Law School, is a district judge in Dearborn Heights, MI.
