5.0 out of 5 stars Thought-provoking and fascinating, December 6, 1999

By	Mikael Hovmller (Stockholm, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book covers a wide spectrum of baseball-related questions with essays of one or two pages for each question. The essays are interesting and the stats will keep you reading for hours.

The only thing missing from this book is a follow-up of the questions from last year's Scorecard. Now, you can't really know if some of these figures are just fluke or indeed statistically significant.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent baseball conversation piece!, February 16, 2000

By	Brian I Greene - See all my reviews

Every year these guys cut through the fat of baseball analysis and extract truly meaningful facts and figures. OPS is gospel these days and STATS, Inc. provides the scripture. Their piece "Which stat matters most?" is one of the most interesting revelations in sports. And pieces like "Who are the real RBI kings?" prove that 100 rbi is a lousy benchmark for success. Bring on the 2000 edition!
