Bouncing around the web this morning I found this review of a book called The Thinking Fan's Guide to Baseball: Revised and Updated. Good reading, as are most of the baseball posts I've since been reading at Dan Agonistes.
It's obvious that the blogger, Dan Fox, is a thinking fan himself. For instance, he has a look at what OPS is and why it is a good shorthand stat for comparing the relative values of players. And not only comparing players who are/were contemporaries, but also, with some adjustments for context, comparing players of different eras.
