Book Synopsis
Freakonomics meets Moneyball in this provocative exposé of baseball’s most fiercely debated controversies and some of its oldest, most dearly held myths.

Providing far more than a mere collection of numbers, economics professor and popular blogger J.C.

Utilizing his own “sabernomic” approach, Bradbury dissects baseball topics such as:

• Which players are ridiculously overvalued? Bradbury lists all players by team with their revenue value to the team listed in dollars—including a dishonor role of those players with negative values—updated in paperback to include the 2007 season.
• Does it help to lobby for
