Baseball is a beautiful game. It is a game of passion, of life, of mental toughness. It is also a game which lends itself to deep statistical analysis, or sabermetrics. With the advancement of such ideas, a rift has been created among the baseball community. There are those who call themselves "baseball purists," who shy away from all these new age baseball stats, who claim that baseball is played not on a spreadsheet, but on a field. And there are those who live by The Book, who claim that the only way to objectively judge baseball and its players is through stats which are not bound by the same prejudices and opinion of people. Stats which will not change depending on who is looking.
