Curt Davis is relatively unknown in today's baseball circles, but it should be remembered that he broke in with the Phillies in 1934 and put together, as this work proclaims, the greatest rookie season in the game's history. This unique book ranks and analyzes the 74 best freshman seasons in the history of organized baseball, from Davis's 1934 campaign to Nomar Garciaparra's 1997 season. The players are ranked according to a sabermetric analysis called Total Player Rating (TPR), which puts a numerical value on a player's overall contribution to his team's success in a given season. More precisely, the TPR represents the number of wins a player might have contributed beyond that of an average player in a given season. But rookies with high TPRs do not always win the Rookie of the Year Award; for example, in 1953 Jim Gilliam of the Dodgers did not make as valuable a contribution to Brooklyn's success as did Harvey Haddix to his St. Louis club, but Haddix finished a distant second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.

An insider’s look at baseball’s unwritten rules, explained with examples from the game’s most fascinating characters and wildest historical moments. Everyone knows that baseball is a game of intricate regulations, but it turns out to be even more complicated than we realize. All aspects of baseball—hitting, pitching, and baserunning—are affected by the Code, a set of unwritten rules that governs the Major League game. Some of these rules are openly discussed (don’t steal a base with a big lead late in the game), while others are known only to a minority of players (don’t cross between the catcher and the pitcher on the way to the batter’s box). In The Baseball Codes, old-timers and all-time greats share their insights into the game’s most hallowed—and least known—traditions. For the learned and the casual baseball fan alike, the result is illuminating and thoroughly entertaining. At the heart of this book are incredible and often hilarious stories involving national heroes (like Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays) and notorious headhunters (like Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale) in a century-long series of confrontations over respect, honor, and the soul of the game. With The Baseball Codes, we see for the first time the game as it’s actually played, through the eyes of the players on the field. With rollicking stories from the past and new perspectives on baseball’s informal rulebook, The Baseball Codes is a must for every fan.
