The Beauty of Short Hops: How Chance and Circumstance Confound the Moneyball Approach to Baseball
ISBN: 9780786462889 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sabermetrics, which evaluates baseball through largely objective methods involving statistics, has taken over the sport in recent years. This critical text exposes the fatal flaws of sabermetrics, demonstrating how it fails on its own terms, as it cannot evaluate baseball in terms of social science and offers only limited guidance for assembling a team and managing games. Drawing on examples from baseball past and present, and taking particular note of odd plays and personalities, baseball is presented and examined as a compelling and vibrant sport--a vision that has been blocked by the...

This first history of the birth of the Dodgers franchise chronicles the owners' efforts to...

Pinstripe Defection: A Small Town Attorney's Battle With The New York Yankees
ISBN: 9780615416557 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. USA Today says about Pinstripe Defection, "Facing the New York Yankees on the field is one thing, but dealing with the powerful franchise in the international arena and legal proceedings can be just as formidable - and eye-opening." A season of baseball can be made or broken by the right players, so with billions of dollars a year flowing through the world of professional baseball, it's easy to see why scouts who discover the next star player might bend a few rules. It's easy to see, too, why a team might make promises it might not keep in order to sign a talented young player, recently...

ISBN: 9780786460588 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thirty years into baseball's sabermetric revolution, relatively little attention has been paid to the impact of a major league umpire's ball-and-strike judgment on game results.

Annual and four-season rankings place the umpires according to four categories: runs per nine innings, walks per nine innings, strikeouts per nine innings, and strikeout-to-walk ratio. The statistical analysis reveals that...

This book was first published in 1915, back when the Spit Ball (or Moist Ball as some preferred to call it) was still a legal pitch. Innovations in equipment used in the game of baseball have come a long way since this book was first published. Back then, there were no aluminum bats, gloves were not webbed as they are today, catcher's equipment offered little protection and the ball was not as "lively" as today's baseballs. However, there is one thing that has not changed and that is the basic principles and strategy of the game. Bill "Boileryard" Clarke spent 13 years playing in the Majors...
