Hardball Times Preview Book

Here are the details. If you haven’t made any THT purchases, I would suggest making one.

I see THT very much PBS-style: they are fairly non-profit, any money they get goes into the writers, R&D, or getting data. This book has basically a who’s who of team bloggers, so it’s a great thing to support.

Studes could decide to turn THT into his own personal moneymaker, and for some reason, chooses not to. I wouldn’t begrudge him if he did, but as long as he doesn’t, it’s extra reason to support THT.
