520    To real baseball fans, statistics are indispensable. But 
       how useful are baseball stats as tools for evaluating a 
       player, choosing a strategy, or predicting a winner? In 
       this lively, thought-provoking look at the numbers and the
       game, the authors examine just what is learned from 
       baseball statistics. They show that statistics is not just
       a powerful tool of analysis and prediction, but a 
       pleasurable and informative pastime in its own right.
