.
the 2003 edition got me started. the 2004 edition has sold me on this book being a yearly purchase from now until i'm blind.
.
this is a complete reference source. 463 pages of baseball bliss. commentary. subjective lists. team recaps. and more statistics than you can shake an aluminum bat at. full major league stats as well as minor league stats. stats for every player from every team. heaven.
.
i could gush.gush.gush, but it's really a waste of everyone's time. this is an outstanding book. you get raw stats but also enough quality writing that you will hang onto the book. in terms of value, i sincerely don't think there is another baseball book out there where you get so much for such a reasonable cost.
.
this is winwin no matter how you look at it.
