This library Web site suggests that stat-heads have a long and proud history in Spalding’s Baseball Guide and Official League Book for 1895 which is available on-line thanks to the Guttenberg Project via Internet Archive.
Ron Kaplan’s Baseball Bookshelf
Our motto: “If it can fit on a bookshelf, it fits here.”
Ron Kaplan by Arnold Roth
In my "day job," I'm the features and sports editor for a weekly New Jersey newspaper. I'm also the editor of the Bibliography Committee Newsletter for the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR).
I did a piece on the award-winning cartoonist and he was nice enough to "immortalize" me.
My article on the later biographies of Babe Ruth appears in
Statistical Theory
The Bookshelf is now a proud sponsor
of the Lou Limmer Page on Baseball-Reference.com.
