Barry Code

Hat tip: Patriot as he highlights a site dedicated to Barry Codell, inventor of what has been popularized as Total Average.  This is what baseball analysis would look like if Linear Weights didn’t take hold.  And here is their glossary of what can essentially be described as “let’s add and divide numbers”. 

Codell paved the way.  This site has gone to great lengths to make a religion out of it.  Pluto is also a dwarf planet, unless you also accept Eris as the tenth planet.  You can’t stick with just nine planets.
