Book Description
For the baseball fan wondering why, when and how analytical managers and GMs make key decisions in a game and over a season, this insider's book explains the practical uses of statistics in baseball. Written in three parts, Behind-the-Scenes Baseball begins with stories from Doug Decatur's long career as a statistical consultant. Part Two is the GM IQ Test, a test of what every major league manager and GM should know…but doesn't. Questions are multiple choice, true/false, and essay format. Part Three is a concise look at the Houston Astros 2004 run for the pennant. There is also a short epilogue comparing the Astros' 2004 and 2005 seasons.

Excellent Addition To Your Baseball Library February 2, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The author has been a major league baseball statistical consultant. This book provides an insiders perspective to many interesting strategic questions. There are three parts to the book (1) stories drawn from the authors career (2) a general manager iq test that consists of 100 questions (3) a look at the Houston Astro's 2004 season. I think most any baseball fan would enjoy and benefit from this quick read.
