Description
Bill James Takes Another Detour on the Way to Conventional Wisdom. Iconoclastic analyst Bill James has written a new book that documents his latest thinking on why strikeouts are going up in the major leagues, a new formula for determining the Comeback Player and the Comeback Pitcher of the Year, "Light" and "Heavy" batting champions, the return to historic norms of the stats for the best hitters in the post-steroid era, and more than a dozen other topics, most related to baseball but a few ranging far afield. This book is the second in set of new, occasional books of essays reminiscent of James' Baseball Abtracts from the 70s and 80s and even includes a reprint of one of his articles from that period. The first book, Solid Fool's Gold was published in 2011.
