Stathead's Featured Selections:

Book Title Rating Category Review/Comments
The Physics of Baseball **** GENERAL This is the book that answers 50% of the questions most frequently asked by visitors to Stathead.

Fascinating look at why curve balls curve, why bat speed is so critical, and why nobody knows where the knuckle ball is going. The book also predicts that Denver's altitude would produce big boosts to offense years before the Rockies came into existence.

Official Rules of Major League Baseball, 1998 : Major League Baseball (Serial) ***** GENERAL The full text of the actual rules and rulings used by MLB, this book is very handy to have as the final word on debates & arguments. Includes the FAQ about what constitutes a save, and what the qualifications are for the batting title.
Ted Williams : A Tribute **** BIOGRAPHY A nice collection of stories and memories about the Splendid Splinter. Stathead founder Keith Woolner chips in with "what-if" projections for Ted's career had he not fought in WWII and Korea.
