Praise for the SBTN Guys
Welcome to the Praise Page where you can read what they are saying about Sports by the Numbers™.
A new book is on the horizon and this book actually is enhanced by your computer. Appropriately in the Sports By The Number Series, this book brings you tons of info on America's best loved and most hated team The New York Yankees.
The book is layed out so you don't have to read it cover to cover, but you probably will wind up doing so anyway. It is a paperback laid out in ten chapters. In each chapter you have 100 facts, lore, records and mini stories. They are all numbered 1-100 in chapter one, 101 - 200 in chapter two etc.
Each number corresponds to an event or story in Yankee history. For instance #30 tells us: The number of times Dave Winfield grounded into a double play in 1983 plus a few more facts to boot. Each chapter also features a Yankee in their own right. For instance Chapter one is George Steinbrenner and Chapter ten is simply The Legends.
Scattered throughout the book are SBTN-All Star and SBTN-Hall of Fame Logos. These logos direct you to the website and give you even more information.
A great book for any age or fan of America's Game and Team. A must read.

"What you're going to find in the coming pages is an absorbing collection of facts, of figures, of trivia and of history. Some of it you'll already know, because Yankees fans are nothing if not ardent students of history. Much of it will add to your knowledge. Some of it will surprise you. All of it will delight you."

"You will find the most important numbers that every fan should know, like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak, Ted Williams' .406 batting average, Hank Aaron's 755 homeruns, and Nolan Ryan's seven no-hitters, but there are hundreds of lesser-known stats. Even if you think you know everything about baseball, I guarantee you will learn a whole lot from this book."
Zack Hample - Author of Watching Baseball Smarter
"NASCAR breeds passion in its fans, who revel in the heroes of the past even as they cheer for the heroes of the present. Fans want to know interesting facts and figures about their sport. This book provides historical perspective in a format both clever and insightful. For fans who don't know much about the history of stock-car racing, it's like taking the green flag."

"Year by year the authors list the teams’ (Oklahoma's) accomplishments, highlighting individual statistics along with the names of the players who earned high honors on “that demanding field of combat". The support provided by these three authors is truly remarkable; all is based on recorded accomplishments."

"Long-time Sooner fans will revel in the flood of memories that flow
from these pages. You’ll think back to a defining moment—that favorite
player, an afternoon next to the radio, or that special day at Owen Field. And
the information contained here is so thorough that you’ll relive those
memories many times."
