Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball analysts often criticize pitcher win-loss records as a poor measure of pitcher performance, as wins are the product of team performance. Fans criticize WAR (Wins Above Replacement) because it takes in theoretical rather than actual wins. Player won-lost records bridge the gap between these two schools of thought, giving credit to all players for what they do--without credit or blame for teammates' performance--and measuring contributions to actual team wins and losses. The result is a statistic of player value that quantifies all aspects of individual performance, allowing for robust comparisons between players across different positions and different seasons. Using play-by-play data, this book examines players' won-lost records in Major League Baseball from 1930 through 2015.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baseball's greatest asset is the richness of its lore, and Leonard Koppett has made the entire treasure of the game's history accessible in one enjoyable volume. In his lively narratives on the shape and significance of each season from baseball's nineteenth-century beginnings to the updated and expanded sections on the last decade, Koppett explains the changes in baseball-the-game and baseball-the-business that forged the major leagues we know today. Each chapter recounts trends, players, and events during different eras; offers succinct seasonal recaps, and summarizes how the consequences of that particular baseball era set the stage for the next. On the origins and evolution of on-the-field play—from the 1880s origin of pitching high and tight then low and away, to modern-day use of body armor at bat—plus statistics and record-breaking achievements, Koppett's got it covered. On business and organizational controversies, such as the introduction of night baseball, radio and TV broadcasting, free agency, strike actions, divisional play-offs, and the policies of owners and commissioners, Koppett's got it covered. One-stop reading for the most essential stories, statistics, and opinions on the major leagues, Koppett's Concise History of Major League Baseball is the most original baseball reference available.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time of despair about our national pastime, the Northern League of Professional Baseball is a beacon of hope - an independent league, unaffiliated with the majors, where the games are for the fans and not between the owners and players. In his memorable debut book, Stefan Fatsis takes you inside the Northern League, and in the process discovers how very much baseball still means to America. Commentator Peter Gammons calls the Northern League "the past and future of grassroots baseball in America." Revived in 1993 by a group of minor league executives fed up with the politics of their sport, it has restored baseball to six communities in the upper Midwest and Canada, which have embraced their teams with a fervor any major league team would envy. More than that, the league has breathed new life into a game that, at the major league level, has lost its way and abandoned its fans. The Northern League's startling success has inspired a movement that could, in time, change the face of baseball, as other independent leagues are forming rapidly in its wake. Wild and Outside tells the Northern League's story, from the events that created it through its tumultuous and triumphant second season. Fatsis writes with the authority of a trusted insider, having closely followed the league since its inception. The result is a book as rich in insights into baseball's problems as it is full of indelible portraits of the people who make the Northern League special; a book that blends the texture and history of grassroots baseball with the many dramas of the league's 1994 season.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From The New York Times baseball columnist, an enchanting, enthralling history of the national pastime as told through the craft of pitching, based on years of archival research and interviews with more than three hundred people from Hall of Famers to the stars of today. The baseball is an amazing plaything. We can grip it and hold it so many different ways, and even the slightest calibration can turn an ordinary pitch into a weapon to thwart the greatest hitters in the world. Each pitch has its own history, evolving through the decades as the masters pass it down to the next generation. From the earliest days of the game, when Candy Cummings dreamed up the curveball while flinging clamshells on a Brooklyn beach, pitchers have never stopped innovating. In K: A History of Baseball in Ten Pitches, Tyler Kepner traces the colorful stories and fascinating folklore behind the ten major pitches. Each chapter highlights a different pitch, from the blazing fastball to the fluttering knuckleball to the slippery spitball. Infusing every page with infectious passion for the game, Kepner brings readers inside the minds of combatants sixty feet, six inches apart. Filled with priceless insights from many of the best pitchers in baseball history--from Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, and Nolan Ryan to Greg Maddux, Mariano Rivera, and Clayton Kershaw--K will be the definitive book on pitching and join such works as The Glory of Their Times and Moneyball as a classic of the genre.

Book excerpt: 11: Making Baseball History 11: Making Baseball History follows this legendary coach through his 40th and final season (2019) as he leaves his indelible imprint on the game of college baseball. The author, Jim Crosby, in his 45th year of covering Seminole baseball, also delves into Martin's past achievements revealing how he led his Seminole teams to unmatched heights in the NCAA record books-a story that was 40 years in the making. The way Martin shaped FSU baseball into an elite program was in direct proportion to hard work and a faith-based approach. In the book: 11: Making Baseball History, author Jim Crosby, who has covered Seminole Sports for 40-plus years, captured the highs and lows of 11's historic career. Martin followed two Major Leaguers, Woody Woodward and Dick Howser, as FSU's head coach and took Seminole Baseball to unmatched heights of greatness. When his 40-year coaching career ended, he had won more games than any college coach in any sport ever had. He did it the right way and has made all of us Seminoles proud of his accomplishments. 11: Making Baseball History is not only a book about the fun and excitement of baseball, but it shows us how a principled approach to life and work excels even beyond wins and losses on the playing field. -Charlie Ward, Heisman Trophy, 1993 In my 40 years of coaching Florida State baseball, there were many thrills. As I look back and recall the privilege of wearing that garnet-and-gold uniform and representing such a great university, I am proud of what was accomplished on and off the baseball diamond. In the book 11: Making Baseball History, longtime Seminole broadcaster Jim Crosby has captured the true essence of those exciting times. It is a book that any sports fan would enjoy, and all Seminoles can be proud of. -Mike Martin, #11 Mike Martin was born on February 12th-Abraham Lincoln's birthday. And like the man who rose to the highest position in America, President of the United States, Martin also reached the top of his profession-Baseball. Referred to by his players, coaches, and fans simply as "11", the number Martin wore on his garnet-and-gold Seminole uniform for 40 years as the head baseball coach, he now stands alone atop the record books. This is the story of the history-making career of a colorful, highly competitive coach who strives as hard to beat you in a game of horseshoes or a round of golf as he would to win a baseball game for the Seminoles. Those who have been around 11 for any length of time have learned not to tell him he can't do something, or he darn sure will. This dates to his boyhood when his dad told him to forget about baseball. He said that in the long run, it was just a game, and Mike would never amount to anything sticking to it. In 2019, as Martin began the 40th season of a historic career, he said: "I'm still trying to prove him wrong." 11: Making Baseball History follows this legendary coach through his 40th and final season (2019) as he leaves his indelible imprint on the game of college baseball. The author, Jim Crosby, in his 45th year of covering Seminole baseball, also delves into Martin's past achievements revealing how he led his Seminole teams to unmatched heights in the NCAA record books-a story that was 40 years in the making.
