In May 2006, Bill James was named one of the “Time 100 Most
Influential People in the World” by Time magazine. While this is quite
an honor, it doesn’t explain just what James has contributed to the
statistical revolution in baseball. In this book, twelve writers discuss
how Bill James has influenced them, where they disagree with James,
and how they see the future of statistical analysis.

I’ve met a lot of golf freeks in my day, and Steve is as freaky
as they come. I’ve had the pleasure of teeing it up with Steve
at exotic locales from Ireland to Palms Springs, and you can bet
your life I never had to pay a cent for golf when I was with
that freek. If you think most golf writers are boring eggheads,
you’re right. That’s why you should read Golf Freek and
witness an exception to this rule. . . . If you just can’t pass a
golf course without a need to tee it up, you need to get to
know Steve Eubanks, whose obsession for the game is
matched only by the lengths he will go to avoid paying to play
it.”
–Larry Olmsted, award winning golf and travel writer, the
author of Golf Travel By Design, and co-author of Fairways:
America’s Greatest Golf Resorts.

From Triumph Books:
If you’re looking for someone to write the book on the greatest
hitters of all time, you want a Stan Musial, a Hank Aaron, or a
Willie Mays. If you want a book on baseball eccentrics, you
need look not further than Bill “Spaceman” Lee. His
qualifications are impeccable: Lee is to quirkiness what Picasso
was to painting and what Pavarotti is to tenors. Lee has
rounded up the most outrageous group of malcontents,
characters, rebels, nut jobs, reprobates, wing-nuts, wackos,
space cadets, head cases, goofs, free thinkers, and oddballs
who ever livened up the grand old game.
“This is a laugh-out-loud collection … Lee never had much of a
fastball as a pitcher, but he writes a 95-mile-per-hour book.”--

From Triumph Books:
They are baseball’s unsung heroes – mostly overlooked,
unheralded, and unappreciated. They played before
meager crowds, on rudimentary fields, and in small
towns across the United States, and most of them never
go the chance to display their talent to the world on
baseball’s great stage, the major leagues. They are the
great stars of the Negro Leagues, many of whom played
during a time when black players were denied the
opportunity to play on the same field with whites.
Monte Irvin, a star for the New York Giants received
baseball’s highest honor, being elected to the Hall of
Fame in 1973, but he has never forgotten his roots. Now
Irvin, aided by longtime sportswriter Phil Pepe, pays
homage to these long-forgotten stars by selecting the
top five players at each position, plus the top five
managers, owners/pioneers/organizers, and the five
greatest from the Negro Leagues.
