  <default_description> For baseball fans young, old, and in between, the ultimate guide to the new  statistical thinking that's revolutionizing the game. &lt;P&gt; The revolution in baseball statistics that began in the 1970s is a  controversial subject that professionals and fans alike argue over without  end. Despite this fundamental change in the way we watch and understand the  sport, until now no one had written the book that reveals, across every  area of strategy and management, how the best practitioners of statistical  analysis in baseball think about numbers and the game. &lt;P&gt; &lt;i&gt;Baseball Between the Numbers&lt;/i&gt; is that book. In separate chapters  covering every aspect of the game, the experts at the Baseball Prospectus  examine the subtle, hidden aspects of baseball, bring them out into the  open, and show us how our favorite teams could win more games. This is a  book that every fan, every follower of sports radio, every fantasy player,  every coach, and every player at every level can enjoy and learn from.</default_description>

Unfortunately, many of the proofs come from not being able to find statistical evidence to support the ideas, instead of directly proving them wrong.
