Sandlot Stats Learning Statistics with Baseball

Sandlot Stats served as an instrumental and informative piece to the Baseball Statistics course. The amount of time and tedious effort put into the project is evident, as this book is absolutely packed with information. The book puts a new spin on mathematics, and makes it more understandable for even the most casual of baseball fans. Baseball purists and sabermetric geeks alike will love this book. -- Jon Alba Sports Paws 2012 Dr. Rothman has hit a 'home run.' Sandlot Stats: Learning Statistics with Baseball is not only a fine book to read, but a text which can also serve as an excellent resource book. -- Father Gabe Costa CBS New York 2012 For those interested in this subject-this is your book. -- Harvey Frommer Epoch Times 2012 If this had been the textbook for a basic statistics course that I took as a student, I might have remembered that course forever as the best class I ever had. -- Charles Ashbacher MAA Reviews Given my experience with the fragility of the mathematical egos of many students that take (often required) statistics and the reality that most are not solid baseball fans, I question whether this book could be used as a text in a standard college course in statistics. Yet it would be the best possible choice for a class where the student body is pre-screened as being baseball fans. There is no question that those people would have the educational time of their lives and that they would learn something. Mathematical Association of America 2013 Sandlot Stats is a readable and resourceful introductory textbook for statistics. -- Graham Wheeler Significance 2013
