* Bless the statistician, for he will inherit the calculator

February 23, 2010

Blessyouboys.com, a Tigers-centric blog, ran this Q&A with Lee Panas, author of Beyond Batting Average: Baseball Statistics for the 21st Century. I haven’t read this one yet, but it made me think: One thing I forgot to ask Steven Goldman yesterday is,  does there come a point when there are just too many stats?

By the way, Bless You Boys was the title of a book by Sparky Anderson and Dan Ewald that covered the 1984 championship team.
