Baseball by the Numbers: How Statistics Are Collected, What They Mean, and How They Reveal the Game

by Willie Runquist

This book is for you--The SABR Bulletin; pleasantly surprising--Dugout. Critical analyses are provided of both the traditional and many of the newer nontraditional (linear weights, production index, etc.) statistics used to measure players' production. Attention is given to the reliability and validity of individual measurements and an evaluation of situational statistics.
