Book Synopsis
Long before Moneyball became a sensation, or Nate Silver turned the knowledge he'd honed on baseball into electoral gold, the authors were using statistics to shake the foundations of the game. In this book, they argue in favor of more subtle measurements that correlated much more closely to the ultimate goal: winning baseball games.

Trade Review
"The re-release of The Hidden Game of Baseball will expose a new generation of baseball fans to one of the most important baseball books ever written. Thorn and Palmer ranking Barry Bonds as the best player of all time in the new appendix just makes a great book even greater... and more ripe for fun debates." (Jonah Keri, author of The Extra 2 per cent and Up, Up, and Away)
