Baseball All-Time Teams Book Project
Index Page
I am writing a book on baseball all-time teams. I started the project in 2000, but have only managed to work on it off and on since then. It involves choosing an all-time roster for each long-standing major league franchise, with detailed commentary for each position. Then I discuss similar all-time teams chosen by other authors, by fan votes, and so on, and consider the variances with my own selections. Finally, I wrap up each team's chapter with a consideration of what Bill James' Win Shares system would produce as an all-time team, and compare that with my own selections. See the introduction for more information on this project.
My intention is to publish this material as a book, either with a publisher or through a publish-on-demand service. For now, I am posting each DRAFT chapter here as I update them, to get feedback from friends and fellow baseball fanatics. I am writer for Seamheads.com and will be posting there each time I make an updated chapter available here. About half of the chapters were drafted several years ago, but they need significant updating, so I'm only linking to draft chapters as they get the latest update treatment.
