Baseball DIY

I am sure I don't fully appreciate just how significant statistics are to the game of baseball. Fantasty leagues are a bit beyond me because I like the experience more than tracking the numbers. I do find it interesting though how much stats have come to be part of the game and how significant they are to the fans. Alan Schwartz has a great book on the subject, The Numbers Game: Baseball's Lifelong Fascination with Statistics. It just came out recently in paperback and covers the subject all the way back to the mid-1800s.
