[Paul Pessolano · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good read, if you are into baseball big time, if not don’t bother. The first half of the book I did not enjoy. There are too many players i did not know and could not compare to. The second half I knew most the the players and teams which made it more interesting. I found the stat graphics both not helpful and confusing, and way to many of them. The author does ring out some interesting points and gives one pause for thought. The last two chapters of the book can be skipped, but still a good book to read, if you are interested in baseball.
