Hardball Times Annual 2009, starring…
A cool collection of writers and bloggers (including MGL and me) in the latest annual. Joe Posnanski, Craig Wright, Rob Neyer, and Don Malcolm are the big guest names so far, but I’m looking forward to reading everyone there. My article is about Catchers and I just handed it in. Readers here should like it.
I’ll repeat what I said last year: I think it behooves all to support THT, as Studes et al provide excellent analysis every week. Studes must kill himself this time of year every year. I know I couldn’t stand doing the editing when we were finishing up our book. Show Studes (our version of Jerry Lewis) that you care, and buy this book. We need Studes to keep going like this every year. We get a few thousand people visiting our blog every day: if ever you felt like you wanted to, then support THT instead. THT is sabermetrics’ best friend.
If you can avoid Amazon, do so and order directly from the publisher. It’s win-win for THT and the publisher.
Or, if you insist on Amazon, then go through this Amazon link (we get a small referral from Amazon), and also make a direct donation to Hardball Times (bottom right corner). It’s win-win for The Book, THT and you. You can even get “super saver shipping” from Amazon if you buy a second book. The Bill James Handbook 2009 is out there as well. Or The Book, if you’ve somehow managed to avoid getting it.
There’s also lots of great minds out there I’ve come across this year. You guys should seriously think about contributing a piece to THT (be it annual or online).
