Reviews
Given my experience with the fragility of the mathematical egos of many students that take (often required) statistics and the reality that most are not solid baseball fans, I question whether this book could be used as a text in a standard college course in statistics. Yet it would be the best possible choice for a class where the student body is pre-screened as being baseball fans. There is no question that those people would have the educational time of their lives and that they would learn something., Dr. Rothman has hit a 'home run.' Sandlot Stats: Learning Statistics with Baseball is not only a fine book to read, but a text which can also serve as an excellent resource book., If this had been the textbook for a basic statistics course that I took as a student, I might have remembered that course forever as the best class I ever had., Dr Rothman has hit a home run. Sandlot Stats: Learning Statistics with Baseball is not only a fine book to read, but a text which can also serve as an excellent resource book., The book is very readable and well organized... High school statistics teachers could use this book as a course supplement or an enrichment source for sports-crazy students. Any college professor teaching a sports statistics course or looking for ways to enliven a traditional course would also find it interesting. Even baseball fans wanting to learn more about descriptive measures used in the game could benefit from Rothman's interesting exposition., ""The book is very readable and well organized...

The amount of time and tedious effort put into the project is evident, as this book is absolutely packed with information. The book puts a new spin on mathematics, and makes it more understandable for even the most casual of baseball fans. Baseball purists and sabermetric geeks alike will love this book.
