Beyond Baseball: The Beginning

Welcome to Beyond Baseball. If you're wondering what you're reading about or what this blog is about maybe you should it the back button.

Wait!

I have a better idea. Keep reading. Why? Because there may be cookies and other sugary treats for you at the end of this article. And who wouldn't want to read something for the chance and sugary treats?

Anyway, since this is an introductary article, I'll tell you what Beyond Baseball is about. I'm a baseball fan and a new student of sabermetrics. I'm starting this blog to publish my sabermetric studies, and insights about baseball. Beyond Baseball isn't going to be just another sabermetric blog.

Well...it is...but not really...

Most baseball blogs deal with the Major Leagues. A great majority of the sabermetric community studies Major League Baseball. Beyond Baseball is going to be...well...beyond baseball. I'll be focusing my studies on independent baseball. Primarily on the Northern League. Perhaps later on, Beyond Baseball will expand to coverage of other independent baseball leagues, but that is beyond what I can do. You've read this far, and I know I can't hold you're attention much longer because you're thinking about those cookies. So get up, grab a cookie and taste that sweet, sugary reward. Mmm....sugary.
