Brian Bannister keeps talking, we keep listening
More of the same from Banny:
Bannister’s story is well known in baseball’s sabermetrics community. He’ll often talk about Bill James, a pioneer in the world of advanced statistics. “If Bill James had a 90-mph fastball, he’d be me,” Bannister says.
If I can use a real-life analogy, Bannister is a test pilot or astronaut, and we’re coming up with the engineering to try to make some sense of how to fly. The mainstream, until they actually see a test pilot willing to go into a flying machine, thinks that we’re nothing but crackpots who require empirical evidence, not theoretical b.s.
I can’t think of a better spokesperson for saberists than Banny.
