I am an avid Red Sox fan, although I was not born to that way of life, having grown up in Georgia, where I rooted for the Braves.

I am also a baseball stat-geek, although I am mainly interested in stats that correlate with winning and losing. In this connection, I have published the following scholarly paper on baseball stats (at Retrosheet.org),

Base-Advance Average

and I hope to publish others in the near future.
