It's time to take a visual tour through baseball's annual pennant races, using a variety of charts and visualizations that document every season from 1901 through 1968 for both the American and National Leagues (a companion edition covering 1969 through 2013 will be available Spring 2014). Learn more about each race using a series of colorful charts and visualizations that enable readers to clearly see the pennant race, plus an array of statistical data that helps make sense of the pennant outcomes. This book integrates traditional baseball data with innovative chart types such as sparklines, horizon charts, heatmaps, and dotplots, in addition to traditional bar and line charts. This full color edition will provide users with new ways of viewing and understanding pennant races that go beyond the usual descriptive text. This should prove especially valuable to younger generations of fans accustomed to a visual view of the world, but will also appeal to traditional fans interested in new approaches to viewing this information.
