Summary: Out of Left Field
Comment: This book is the best baseball stat book ever! You have to know something about the game to read it though. It was printed in 1998, so not all of the facts are true, because they have been broken.

Rating: 5
Summary: Confusion for excellence
Comment: Okay there is obviously no baseball fans that enter this website. 2 of the above 3 reviewers have absolutely no knowledge of the game. This is a fabulous book. Even though I am a close friend of Mr. Doug Lyons, there is nothing sloppy about this book. I don't know what that "western reader" is talking about. This is one of the best researched books I've ever read. It is so interesting and has so many interesting facts in it. Maybe you should give this book another chance, and buy the sequel which is coming out soon. Only real baseball fans get this book. If you are not one, then don't bother!

Rating: 1
Summary: Very Sloppy Work
Comment: In addition to the several glaring errors mentioned in the two earlier customer reviews, I'd like to point out that Paul Molitor is not the only designated hitter to score more than 100 runs in a season Edgar Martinez did it three times, including two seasons of 121 runs, which is more than Molitor ever achieved in the DH slot.

Uninformed, misleading and lazily researched books like this only give baseball publishing a bad reputation.
