Omschrijving
Uncover the stories behind the baseball numbers--newly updated!
“Ryan and Kevin have a real passion for baseball, and the numbers within the game. This book looks at the full contribution of the players—not just the mainstream stats. In this book, you will find numbers that you’ve never seen before.”
--Edgar Martinez, 2019 National Baseball Hall of Fame Inductee
“It seems like someone is always coming up with new ways to quantify value in this great game of ours. This book has a really unique take on the ‘Coors Effect,’ and the ‘Hangover Effect’ might completely change the way you think about baseball at high altitude.”
--Larry Walker, Five-time All-Star; 1997 NL MVP
"In an era where seemingly everything can be looked up in a flash, Incredible Baseball Stats proves otherwise. There is still a world of fascinating stories and trivia if you have the ability to dig deeper and ask more sophisticated questions. An excellent primer on the history of baseball, from Sisler to Altuve, this book shows how statistics are supposed to be used; to tell fascinating stories in their proper historical context. A ton of fun, and a must for the thinking fan”
--Brian Kenny, studio host, MLB Network; author, Ahead of the Curve
"I wish Kevin and Ryan would have written a book like this back when I was playing. There is stuff in here about my career I didn't even know! The stats and stories in this book are really eye-opening."
--Tim "Rock" Raines, National Baseball Hall of Famer
Kevin Reavy, a Chester County native and lifelong Philadelphia sports fan, is the co-author of This Day in Philadelphia Sports, with Brian Startare. His writing and media credits include contributions to the magazine Fusion and CBS Local's Sports Verdict.
