I think historical baseball abstract

I have all of those, so they run together

I still childishly laugh at the somewhat inappropriate Bermanisms he had in the Baseball Book

Jose "Jack" Offerman and Scott "Would Your Sister Come and" Leius

ok, just inappropriate

Why is PCA the fWAR leader and 14th in Allstar voting?

Fans still don't largely care about WAR

Very internet baseball fans care about WAR, the same way that very internet political people care about things that have zero traction in general voting

You can never underestimate what people know

If you asked people "Is Pete Crow-Armstrong a baseball player or a member of Mumford & Sons" and you'll likely get a fairly even split

For as great as PCA is defensively, he has a fair amount of defensive lowlights. I kind of group him with Jazz Chisholm as guys where the noise makes people underrate the guy instead of overrate
