Derrick Goold writes an outstanding profile of Bill James, emphasizing a point I often like to bring up: James writes beautifully, something that too often gets ignored by people insisting he has somehow tarnished the game with his insistence on relying on facts. The quote above touches on something we apparently have in common that I’ve tried to get at before, only James, in typical fashion, says it more clearly than I could. Via Repoz.
