The name Bill James is synonymous with baseball statistics. If you need to know the latest facts and figures about the national pastime, his handbook is the source of record. In it you'll find complete statistics for the past year's pitchers, hitters, fielders, and managers. But far from being a machine-like compiler of data, James plays with the numbers to find the underlying relationships and trends that make baseball such a great game from a statistical perspective. These are stats that enlarge the game, teasing out the human element and giving fans even more reasons to love and respect the game.
