Baseball fans are often passionate about statistics, but true numbers fanatics want to go beyond the 'baseball card' stats and make comparisons through other objective means. ""Sabermetrics"" uses algebra to expand on statistics and measure a player's value to his team and how he ranks among players of different eras. The mathematical models in this book, a follow-up to ""Understanding Sabermetrics"" (2008), define the measures, supply examples, and provide practice problems for readers.
