Holy Shit, what an endorsement! Well, then again, I wonder what the other two are.

Steve's referring to the fact that I placed a link to this forum on the menu bar of all the pages at Baseball Immortals. I will be very happy if my success also helps the success of these boards.

With endorsements like that the Disc will be flying!
I hope all your customers will not need step by step instruction on how to use their CD-Rom.
 Thanks Lee!

rza93, welcome aboard!
ESPN ran a couple of articles on the book last month. I think Neyer suggested using it more as a reference instead of a cover-to-cover read. I'm doing the cover-to-cover bit presently, and it's mostly very enjoyable. Typical Bill James writing style and interesting tidbits that he himself said are meant to help the reader visualize the game and the players as they were - the man behind the baseball player, if you will. Definitely a must-have for your baseball library...
