Statistics Anyone?

Most of us who really love baseball love statistics also. Based on about 100 different ways to measure a player or a team, we pick through data to determine the who, what, and whys of the game. Baseball fans like box scores. It's a little weird I know because you don't see soccer, football, hockey, or basketball fans pouring over their box scores the same way. But hey, it's just one of the many reasons baseball is the great game. For the stats dork hidden inside of you (though probably not as hidden as you'd like to believe) I would suggest checking out this site: www.baseballgraphs.com I won't even try and explain all of the cool graphs and data it has. But trust me, they've got some obscure and thorough data. Apparently even baseball minds like Yankees' GM Brian Cashman use this site too. It's somehow also affiliated with The Hardball Times www.hardballtimes.com and a dude named Dave runs BaseballGraphs.com. That's about all I can say other than it's worth a visit.
