Old School Baseball Stats and Stories is filled with often unconventional and sometimes humorous stats-based stories. Topics include a mini-bio of an early 20th century player who stole first base, how good the '62 Mets might have been had Casey the '65 Dodgers pitching staff to work with, and a brand-new special award for guys who did well on the worst teams in the 1980s. Also contained are serious discussions including an un-inflated and non-bombastic salute to ball players who were killed while serving in the U.S. Military, the time when Jackie Robinson starred in a Hollywood motion picture, and the real reasons why Wally Pipp was removed from the Yankees lineup to make room for future Hall-of-Famer Lou Gehrig. And there's lots more!.
