I'm thoroughly enjoying the Historical Baseball Abstract now, and one stat has really come to mind:
His win shares.
I think it would be very interesting to see if someone can test this out in a league. I'm thinking about it, provided I can apply the theory.
Much of my ABL history will include a lot of the text that's seen in James' book. It's quite fantastic, and adds many wrinkles to the history that may not have been seen (at least by me).
Peace
John
