This book is a reprinting of the first book on baseball metrics. It was so revolutionary, and it's concepts so radical, John Deford wrote a fine article about this book in 1966 for Sports Illustrated. The mathematics is over my head, but Mr. Cook has an engaging writing style which is non academic and highly thought provoking and enjoyable to read. There is much more than batting average, home runs, and runs batted in that reflects a ballplayer's true value to his team. Mr. Cook is the Godfather of baseball analytics. I also recommend a slim book that is obscure but available as a free download on the net. "Player Win Averages" - Eldon & Harlan Mills (1970). These are the first two books to delve into baseball analytics. At the time these books were published, they introduced very novel concepts. Check these out if you like baseball analytics!
