Baseball analyst Bill James, in the 2009 Gold Mine. I'm enjoying the book much more than I did last year - not sure if it's because I'm used to the new format, or whether the material is more interesting. But there's a ton of good stuff in this year's book, including an exhaustive grouping of batters throughout history with similar tendencies, an article attempting to assess the non-batting skills brought to the game by its greatest catchers, and an excellent piece assessing the Hall of Fame chances of Alan Trammell (after all, who doesn't like a good Hall of Fame argument?).
