Not quite what I was expecting. This is primarily a math and probability book that uses baseball, among other topics, as its primary means of conveying information. This is going to teach baseball fans little that they don't know with lots of fairly heavy mathematical formulations. I mean really, the first full chapter is on average, on base percentage, and slugging percentage. Any fan worth his or her salt is way beyond this. Then the second half of the book is for serious statisticians. show more It's a moderately entertaining book but not one I would recommend. Read some Bill James instead. show less
