Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Sporting News Baseball Register 2000 doesn't waste a lot of time with small talk--and that's a good thing. It begins with a brief table of contents and then gets right to the point: providing the detailed career statistics of everyone who played in the majors in 1999, from Jeff Abbott to Michael Zywica. The stats include the usual suspects (batting average, hits, home runs, etc.) as well as birthplace, birth date, schools attended, career transactions, awards, career milestones, and more. The book also provides the statistics of dozens of minor-league prospects and all current major-league managers. In addition, there are sections on the 1999 statistical leaders and Hall of Fame inductees. A fun, thorough, well-done baseball reference guide. --Andy Boynton


Product Description

The most accurate, detailed, and up-to-date statistics available on every player in the major leagues, plus their biographical information and statistical notes. With its myriad statistics and alphabetical organization for ease of use, you'll find that the Baseball Register is your most-trusted resource, whether you are a writer, a broadcaster, a fan, or a fantasy-league player. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

2.0 out of 5 stars No Integration with STATS, Inc., December 26, 2002
By Howard S. Epstein (Aurora, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I agree with the first reviewer wholeheartedly. This is the Sporting News 2003 Baseball Register, not the Sporting News/STATS 2003 Baseball Register. There is an almost undetectable difference between last year's TSN Register and this one -- and this is a huge loss for Major League Baseball Handbook fans.

Every year, I looked forward to the early November arrival of the STATS Major League Handbook. I figured that with the new partnership with the Sporting News and the six week delay in publishing, it was going to be a bigger and better book than ever. How wrong that turned out to be. This is a basic back-of-the-baseball card stats regurgitation with almost no extra "stuff" except for a couple of pages of STATS-like managerial tendencies. Not even the basics such as leaderboards, much less projections for 2003 or in-depth fielding statistics.

A major disappointment, and a major loss for serious baseball fans who like their stats. I'm guessing STATS was losing their shirts on these books -- and that's why they first pulled their books from third-party distribution, and then pulled them altogether. Like the old Zander Hollander annual baseball guides (Handbook of Baseball), the old STATS books will be sorely missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best, March 29, 2000
By James Blind (Vancouver, Wa) - See all my reviews
This is simply the best yearly reference book on the market. If you want stats this book delivers. It's a great book whether you are a stat freak or just like having the stats nearby when watching your favorite team. I've been buying this book for 15 years, and will probably never stop!

1.0 out of 5 stars False Advertising, January 19, 2003
By A Customer
This book contains virtually none of the great material that was previously in the STATS handbook. Anyone familiar with the STATS handbook will be misled by the false advertising and implications that STATS combined their efforts with TSN to create a better handbook. I won't be fooled again next year!

For those lamenting the demise of the STATS handbook, it's back in print, published by ACTA, as the Bill James Handbook. You can find it at the baseballinfosolutions website.
