THE DEBUT BOOK BY ERNIE FISHERA scorekeeper’s perspective
The numbers are only
part of the story.
Somewhere tonight, a broadcaster will tell you the batter is ahead in the count at two balls and one strike. Ernie Fisher would like a word.
For more than fifty years, Ernie has watched baseball from the dugout, the field, and the scorekeeping table. Over time, he came to believe that many of the statistics baseball loves measure the wrong things.
In this book, he introduces Production Average: a way of looking at the game that counts what ends up on the scoreboard. Because a ballgame is not won by leaving home. You win by coming back to home plate.
Coming soonThe book is not yet published. Verified bookstore links will be added here after release.
