The Sporting News Baseball Register 2000 doesn't waste a lot of time with small talk--and that's a good thing. It begins with a brief table of contents and then gets right to the point: providing the detailed career statistics of everyone who played in the majors in 1999, from Jeff Abbott to Michael Zywica. The stats include the usual suspects (batting average, hits, home runs, etc.) as well as birthplace, birth date, schools attended, career transactions, awards, career milestones, and more. The book also provides the statistics of dozens of minor-league prospects and all current major-league managers. In addition, there are sections on the 1999 statistical leaders and Hall of Fame inductees. A fun, thorough, well-done baseball reference guide. --Andy Boynton

Book Description
Our 2 year-old partnership with STATS Inc. has resulted in the addition of 12 new stat categories and a full inch to the width of The Baseball Register. In 2003 and 2004 we've added new, Position Player stats: OBP, HBP, GDP, SB-CS, OBP, SLG and for Pitchers; OPS, WHIP, HLD, HR, BB-IBB and AVG plus Lefty/Righty stats for every player. Also, our Statistical and Career Leaders sections now list AL/NL batting and pitching leaders for far too many categories to list here, plus we give you every Manager’s history and tendencies. The Register includes every player who logged at least one MLB game in 2003 plus selected MLB players who missed all of 2003 due to injury/other. Finally, our Editors and Fantasy Game Web Site personnel -- who live and breathe Baseball 365 days a year - take these stats, season them with their own opinions and analysis, and convert them into player Rankings and Fantasy $ Values for 560 players. he Register still features alphabetical tabs that make finding any player quick and easy plus easy-on-the-eyes font and paper stock. It's the perfect blend of old a new but this is not your Father’s Baseball Register. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Greenberg (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews       This review is from: Baseball Register, 2003 Edition : Every Player, Every Stat! (Paperback) Every year thousands, if not millions of baseball fans yearn for a book that will provide them with the past records of the hundreds of major league baseball players that appear in the games they watch live or on television (or listen to on the radio). Who are these guys, where have they played in the past, and how did they do last year? The BEST available currently published version of these data is *The Baseball Register*. The book is reasonably compact so it can be carried to the ball game (even with the current ridiculous security restrictions on carry-in items).
