♦ Tom Hoffarth’s latest 30/30: Extra Innings: More Baseball Between the Numbers from the Team at Baseball Prospectus, edited by Steven Goldman, editor-in-chief of BaseballProspectus.com. Upshot: “The top-qualify writing, and heavy-duty thinking, you’ve come to expect from the Prospectus staff is worthy of this heavy-duty bounded hardback (no more paperbacks this time around). The stuff is also pertinent, not some kind of esoteric breakdown of an micromanaged aspect of the game that in the end may be somewhat interesting but not really relevant in the grand scheme.”
I’ve begun reading this one myself. It’s a slow go, not because it’s dense material, but because I want to get every nuance. The introduction alone, which considers the antiquated stats found on baseball cards, is almost worth the cost of the book.
