*The Sabermetric Revolution*

That is the new book by Benjamin Baumer and Andrew Zimbalist and the subtitle is Assessing the Growth of Analytics in Baseball.  It is an excellent and well-written look at where sabermetric knowledge stands today, here is one excerpt:

…once the ball has been put into play, it doesn’t seem to matter all that much whether it was put into play against Roger Clemens or Roger Craig.

And:

…an extra win will bring more revenue to a team in New York City than in Kansas City.

This is a very useful book on its chosen topic.
