From Derrick Goold’s profile of Bill James in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Bill James More Than Just Stats, Still Obsessive About Baseball
↵↵Still prolific, James remains more writer than mathematician, more warm-blooded historian than cold-storage calculator. He’s more outgoing than he was when he coined the term sabermetrics, and he’s written a nonfiction book on crime that is soon to be published. But while he has other interests, that morning round of Ball Park reveals a perception that is true: He has one obsession.
↵Baseball.
↵↵Goold’s piece is one of the best things I’ve read about Bill, and suffers only from my inability to be more articulate on the telephone.
