Perhaps the most important of all sabermetrics books.

Thorn and Palmer, in person, are humble folks, willing--even happy--to discuss the (few, to be sure) shortcomings of their knowledge, research, and methods. That doesn't come through in this book. You'd think, after reading Hidden Game, that there was no more to be said about evaluating baseball performance. They also gloss over important, debatable, points.

All the same, the one sabermetric book everyone should read. Important stuff in here.

This review is also posted on a dabbler's journal.

A fine compendium, though the author's own evaluation system, especially for defense, has since been torn apart by Bill James in his Win Shares. Many good essays and almost every possible stat you'd want. Goes through the 1998 season.

Not as good as the title implies. Long on statistics and short on narrative and even some of the narratives run to forgettable musty corners of the sport, not necessarily interesting ones. I'm going back to the McMillian Encyclopedia of Baseball.
