Rob Neyer has written about baseball for ESPN.com since 1996 and appears regularly on ESPNews. He has written four baseball books, including The Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers (with Bill James) and Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Lineups. His website, RobNeyer.com, contains additional material related to these and his other books.
"Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Lineups is about baseball
history, but Neyer's brand of cutting-edge analysis and objective
evaluation is influencing baseball today." - Billy Beane
"Mantle or DiMaggio? Spahn or Maddux? Terry or McCovey? Don't guess
-- read Neyer's book and learn the answers. In these pages, it's
production (not nostalgia) that matters, and the result is a cogent
parsing of baseball's all-time greats (and worsts)." - Joshua
Prager, The Wall Street Journal
"Rob Neyer is one of those writers who can make his subject more
interesting than anyone ever imagined it could be. He has written a
delightful book for ardent baseball fans, but even people with a
casual interest in baseball will find something to think about
here." - Michael Lewis, author of Liar's Poker and Moneyball
"You will argue with some of Rob's picks, and you will provoke many
an argument with your baseball friends, but you will not be able to
put this thought-provoking book down." - Jon Miller, ESPN's Sunday
Night Baseball
