1. DL from MN Posted: February 07, 2022 at 02:11 PM (#6064107)Please excuse the following blatant self-promotion. McFarland signed me as an independent; my agent and promoter is me, and I'm doing my best to spread the word.
From the back cover: https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/black-stats-matter/
For those of you who don't already know this, I quote a number of HoM posters in the book. Some of you will agree with my conclusions, some won't. I look forward to the discussion.

Please excuse the shameless self-promotion. I'm trying to earn my crust as a writer, and you good folks here at the Hall of Merit are definitely in my target audience.

1. At some point will we be able to view sample pages, specifically the table of contents?
2. To what extent do you cover interracial contests like the Cobb era Tigers postseason trips to Cuba?
1. I haven't yet received page proofs from McFarland - but I can give you an approximate ToC right now. 2. Interrracial contests are discussed as a) a proof of MLB's efforts to ban all Black-vs.-white play, and b) a proof of NgL professionalism.
Hope that helps. Glad to answer queries about any given section(s) of the book.
A new prerelease review from Rob Neyer:
https://mcfarlandbooks.com/product/black-stats-matter/
I've only finished the first two chapters, but if the quality of the rest of the book is equal to Chapter 2 ("What Constitutes a Major League?"), I'm probably going to echo Neyer's comment: "This is the book I've been waiting for." I only hope that Lee's critics on that other thread buy it and read it before dismissing it.
