Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

About as provocative as an Albert Belle stare, the Scoreboard poses such eternal puzzlers as "Was Garciaparra the Best Rookie Shortstop Ever?", "Is Gwynn the Best of All Time Relative to His League?", "Do Basestealers Improve with Age?", "How Important Is It to Score First?", "Which Parks Change at Night?", "Whose Heater Is Hottest?", and "How Costly Is a Blown Save?" Then it analyzes the stats to find the answers. Brimming with information, the Scoreboard is crammed with the unexpected; if you think you have insight into the National Pastime, this is the place to test yourself. Oh, and by the way, yes on Garciaparra, but no on Gwynn, though he does come tantalizingly close. --Jeff Silverman
