John Ford's early Westerns reflect an optimistic view of society
and individual capacity; as his thematic vision evolved, he became
more resigned to the limitations of humanity. His thematic
evolution was evident in other films, but was best shown in his
""Westerns"", with their stark depictions of the human condition.
Ford's sound ""Westerns"" and his major silent films are compared
in this work, revealing how his creative genius changed over time.
A complete filmography of Ford's ""Westerns"" is also provided.
Baseball is a readily quantifiable sport, and baseball historians,
journalists and front office personnel often use sabermetric
statistics to rank the perforemance of a particular player or team.
To many, these statistics can be intimidating and unwieldy, and the
reliance on numerical data to explain a cherished pastime often
meets with skepticism and confusion. For researchers and for
serious fans, however, the truth is in the numbers, and statistical
rankings offer an easy and accurate way to understand the game.
Covering a decade and a half, this work scrutinizes statistics from
both leagues and proves just how useful and straightforward
numerical rankings can be. It examines pitching, offense, defense,
managers, acquisitions, and longevity and competition based on the
information reflected in various stats. Many of these figures are
explained, simplifying seemingly complex metrics while illuminating
15 years of baseball. Twenty-six appendices cover topics ranging
from fielding averages, starting pitchers' won-loss records and
leading closers' saves versus blown saves to total team offensive
efficiency, quarterly standings in divisional races and composition
of major leagues rosters by methods of player acquisition, among
many other diverse categories.
