I have been a fan of the writing and analysis of Bill James for many years. My discovery of James forever altered my attitudes about baseball and the value of statistical analysis. In fact, as I am writing this, I count no less than ten books in my own baseball library which were authored by Bill James. Through his multitude of well-supported theories—particularly theories contained in “The Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract” and “Win Shares”—I have been forced to abandon many incorrect (and all too frequently nonsensical) beliefs I had about the game of baseball.
