If u just wanne read one book, i would recommend "The book" from Tango, Lichtman and Dolphin

Well, I already mentioned that I know (knew) absolutely nothing about baseball, and I didn't know that quantitative analysis is used in baseball. But what I didn't mention is that in real life I'm very well versed into probability theory, statistics, data mining and time series analysis. My field was finance but numbers are numbers :-) So you can imagine my joy to learn that the word "Sabermetric" exists :-)
I will definitely have a look at all these :-)
