Críticas
"If you grew up as a sports fan you found yourself engrossed in discussion, and quite possibly arguments, about your sports heroes, their accomplishments, and their teams. Should you fit this profile, this book is required reading. Hirsch provides a fascinating and typically unconventional take on some of the most heated debates in sports. It is meticulously researched and the author's background as a physician makes him well acquainted with two of sports most important areas--its science and its statistics--and makes this an essential part of any sports library. . . You will be smarter after reading it."--Cory Franklin, Editorial Board contributor to the Chicago Tribune and author of Chicago Flashbulbs "Hirsch is one of the shrewdest and liveliest of baseball analysts, and Hot Hands, primarily a baseball book though it deals with some basketball and football myths as well, is grist for the mill at your favorite pub. . . . Not the least of Hirsch's virtues is a fearlessness in debunking sacred cows. . . . Essential reading for sports fans who love to argue. Or stated a simpler way: essential reading for sports fans."--Allen Barra "Dallas News" "The author provides fascinating and typically unconventional takes on some of the most heated debates in baseball, football and basketball, while occasionally tossing in intriguing digressions. The book is meticulously researched, and the author's background as a physician well acquainted with two of sports most important facets - its science and its statistics - makes this an essential part of any sports library."--Allen Barra "RealClear Books"
Reseña del editor
In sports there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. Joe DiMaggio's fifty-six-game hitting streak was magical. The three-point shot is an essential part of NBA basketball. Babe Ruth shouldn't have attempted to steal second base in the ninth inning of the 1926 World Series. Scientist and researcher Sheldon Hirsch has taken a decidedly unorthodox approach to sports history. He looks at myths, legends, conventional wisdom, shibboleths, and firm convictions of all kinds that sports lovers hold to be true, and demonstrates how analysis of facts and figures disproves what tradition-and sportswriters-would have us believe. Divided into three parts, on baseball, basketball, and football, Hot Hands, Draft Hype, and DiMaggio's Streak contains enough clear-sightedness and shocking conclusions to delight any sports lover.
