Review
"For all sports collections."-Library Journal Library Journal "Barra constantly challenges his readers to think outside the bounds of conventional sports analysis, using a seemingly innocuous but ultimately deadly combination of statistics ("the life blood of the sport") and common sense. Barra writes for thinking people, not simply by slaughtering baseball's sacred cows, but by demonstrating to the reader that anything less would be dishonest."-Publishers Weekly Publishers Weekly "If you love the game for what it is ... step up and dig in."-New York Times The New York Times "[Barra] goes about the job with meticulous care, with energy and delight. Every conclusion is supported by a wealth of data, well-balanced. Great book for the armchair athlete."-Houston Chronicle The Houston Chronicle "A real hackle raiser, but utterly fascinating."-Boston Globe The Boston Globe "A knowledgeable sportswriter and radio personality who strives to bring fresh perspectives to his criticism, Barra is in top form here, and his obvious passion for his material makes him unfailingly fun to read."-Kirkus Kirkus
