While a multitude of books on Major League Baseball have been
written by those within the industry, this book is the voice of an
educated and opinionated fan. Included are comprehensive
examinations of players, teams, and the game itself, with a
chronological emphasis on the 1980 through 2013 seasons. Within
these pages, bold and intriguing arguments are made on the topics
of statistical analysis and strategy. Unorthodox tactics and
elements are presented which could revolutionize the game if
implemented. The presentation of new statistical categories offers
readers an opportunity to compare contemporaries as well as the
careers of baseball legends to modern stars utilizing new criteria.
This book also serves as an alternative baseball almanac, as it
chronicles over three decades of Major League Baseball listing
leaders in new or obscure statistical categories, as well as
identifying and analyzing various trends throughout the game. An
array of lists, charts, and graphs enliven the text which will
delight any stats junkie. Beer in the Bleachers examines various
facets of America's Pastime, including attendance, stadium design,
and the much debated topic of the Hall of Fame, which has reached a
crossroads due to the recent eligibilities of Steroid Era stars.
Arguments regarding who should have won various awards and
suggestions to improve the league are also presented. Beer in the
Bleachers offers the viewpoint of a fan regarding where the game
has been, where it is now, and where it may be headed in the near
future.
