Hey Jason - I love baseball stats as well. My wife is always amused that I won't watch an actual game but I'll spend time every day looking over the stats on ESPN.com. I can't help it. It started with a book on baseball that my mother gave me about 55 years ago. It had all things baseball from the first pitch thrown and I've been hooked on the numbers ever since.
By the way, just started reading you stuff - I like it. A good logical rant or vent is good for the soul. I'd be interested in getting added to your list of writers.
Cheers
