Interesting idea. I'd love to get my ERA down on my campaigns and my slugging percentage way up. Too bad Ian's a Met fan, though!

This promises to be an interesting, entertaining and informative session that's different than the norm.

Ian Schafer and baseball stats- a win/win proposition. One of my favorite speakers meets my boyhood obsession in a topic that's of great importance. I'm all over it.
