Book Description
It's the game behind the game, from baseball guru Bill James. An obsessive keeper of the numbers who searches for hidden truth in a sea of statistics, the bestselling author unearths a year of dazzling accomplishments, unsung records, unique strengths, and bizarre weaknesses. Vintage Fernando Vi-a. Darnell Coles vs. Henry Aaron. Where all the extra base hits go. And a good day for pitcher Harry Hedgpeth-who in tossing both halves of a 1913 double-header relinquished only one hit.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   2 of 2 people found the following review helpful: Ban the DH, January 25, 2001 By  "cthoms" (West Chatham, MA) - See all my reviews This calendar can't be topped. They whip out some sweet stats from who knows where. Obviously some people with far too much time on their hands put this thing together so you should humor them and buy it or at least laugh at them for spending so much time on it. Calendar makers do not get the recognition they deserve. Without calendars we wouldn't know where we were in the year. It would be chronological chaos. So appreciate your calendars, especially this one.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

It provides a daily education of their favorite sport, but it might make you wish you'd never got them started!!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
