The POLITICS OF GLORY, HOW BASEBALL HALL OF FAME REALLY WORKS

Rating:
Summary: James does it again
Review: Another great book from the master sabermatrician, Bill James. It is obvious that James is a huge baseball fan who is simply fed up with the current fabric of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Why, for example, is Hack Wilson in the Hall of Fame? James examines his curious selection, among others, in this must-read.

Rating:
Summary: Great book
Review: Once again, Bill James uses the facts to answer many of baseball's perplexing questions. And the answers he gets aren't always the obvious ones. I have sent this book to several friends. This book is available in paperback but it's been renamed "Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame" or something close to that

Rating:
Summary: Knowledgeable stats man and quality analysis.
Review: This book is very thought provoking and honest.I love the way he analyzes players from different eras by using that eras stats to base his quality assessments on. Maybe not all hall of famers belong there, but the truth is statistics sure say a lot.
