Summary note
"Baseball analysts criticize pitcher win-loss records as a poor measure of pitcher performance, as wins are the product of team performance. Fans criticize WAR (Wins Above Replacement), theoretical rather than actual wins. Player won-lost records bridge the gap. This book's play-by-play data examines won-lost records in Major League Baseball from 1930 through 2015"-- Provided by publisher.
