Uncover the stories behind the baseball numbers--newly updated!
As America's pastime since the mid-1800s, baseball offers the sights, sounds, and even smells that are deeply entrenched in our culture. But for some, the experience can be less sensory. Some, such as Ryan Spaeder and Kevin Reavy, live for baseball statistics. Stats give the game historical context and measurables for past, present, and predictive analysis.
Incredible Baseball Stats, newly updated, helps tell unique baseball stories, showcasing extraordinary stats and facts in baseball history, through the 2018 season.
For example, in 2015, the Nationals’ Bryce Harper broke out in a major way. He batted .330/.460/.649 with 42 home runs en route to his first MVP Award. It was his fourth MLB season, but he was still younger than NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant. He became the youngest player to lead the league in both on-base percentage and homers in the same season since Ty Cobb in 1909.
The authors have scoured the records for untold tales and looked at familiar ones with new statistical insights, to create Incredible Baseball Stats, a perfect book for baseball fans from coast to coast.

- A nice little bon bon. The Introduction note the context for the book "Stat[istic]s tell stories." One feature of the book is a team by team analysis, based on sets of statistics appropriate for each.
One of my best friends has always been a Yankee fan. As an homage to him, here are some facts. Up front, we learn that "The Yankees were never sub-.500 during any span of 162 games played by Derek Jeter. Babe Ruth batted .401 through a 255 game period from April, 1923 through August, 1924. Another Ruthism He had five seasons with these slashes--.350/.500/.725 (batting average, on base percentage, and slugging percentage). All other players in baseball history=4. We also see that about 15% of Lou Gehrig's stole bases were steals of home.
My favorite team is the Chicago White Sox. Growing up, my favorite player was Nellie Fox. Here's a stat on him. From July 1954 to June, 1959, he played 741 games. He was hit by pitches (60) more times than he struck out (59). Frank Thomas (The Big Hurt) had the highest on base percentage (.419) since 1946.
And so on. . . .
Overall, a lot of fun! - This book is incredible. I bought it as a gift and started reading it as I went to wrap it. I couldn't put it down and finally had to tell the gift recipient to let me borrow it once they were done. A must for any baseball fan.
