Book Review: Statistically Inaccurate but Still Enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars
For the most part I enjoyed this book but when I double checked what I thought were typographical errors I found they were actually statistical mistakes. An easy and obvious one was Denny McLain's won loss record in 1968. It was 31 - 6, not the 31 - 5 as stated on page 92. A minor mistake but annoying none the less. What I also thought was just a misprint in the article "Lord of the Triple". Cantor implies the all-time Tigers record for triples is the 309 hit by Sam Crawford. (A photo caption claims Crawford hit 312 for the Tigers.) Author George cantor goes so far as to claim that as a Tigers record, Crawford's statistic is permanently secure. That may be true as an MLB record but is flat out wrong concerning the Tigers. Crawford's 309 triples is in fact the MLB record but he hit 60 while he was with Cincinnati and only hit 249 as a Tiger. Ty Cobb holds the Tigers record for triples with 284. As a former journalist and currently a teacher of sports journalism, I would have thought Cantor would have done a better job checking his facts.
