Summary: Indispensible!
Comment: The plot is lousy but the cast of characters is tremendous! This is the standard reference work used by announcers for those endless trivia games they play with each other and the audience while filling the time taken up by intentional walks and visits to the mound. The Sporting News has sponsored this book for the past umpteen years--I have kept every copy I bought right next to my TV chair for easy reference during the season. Great for finding past players without searching through the hardbound, 5-pound encyclopedia. My copies are well-thumbed.

Summary: Baseball Register 2001
Comment: All at your fingertips: this book has all of the basic stats for each and every player who played a game in 2000. However, I felt that this book could have been a lot better. I have to stress that this book only presents the classic basic stats such as batting averages, RBIs, etc, but not slugging percentages, on base averages, or WHIPs. Also, the book provides no photographs (even Who's Who In Baseball has photos of most of the 700 players in their little book) and very skimpy player biographies. STATS Inc provided the statistics for this book and publish their own line of books, including Major League Handbook, which would probably have more of the numbers that more hardcore fans would want. What would have set this book apart from Major League Handbook would have been interesting biographies or photos, not tidbits such as "led California League in total chances in 1994". Save your money for STATS' Major League Handbook.
Rating: 4
Summary: A very thorough book.
Comment: For stat lovers, this is a must. Gives stats on all players plus prospects. Also year end league leading stats. They could improve on a few things - like showing a players slugging average and on-base average, which are much more important than showing how many times a guy turned a double play in the minors.
