UPDATE: The book is now available, in both print-on-demand hard copy and PDF for immediate download, which works very well on the Kindle DX. Click here for more information and ordering. There’s a couple samples on the page which give you an idea what to expect.
A lot of you … ok, a couple … have asked about a project I hinted at a couple times during the last year. The Carroll Guide to Sports Injuries is almost ready to come out, likely this week. (I’ll add a link over to the Football Outsiders store and to Amazon once it’s available.) It’s a reference guide to the 100 injuries that most often occur in sports. If you have a son or daughter playing sports, this is something you’ll want to have handy just in case. I think writers and announcers will like it as well, since it’s a quick and easy guide, organized by body part and severity.
If you’d like to check out more of my non-baseball writing, pick up a copy of the Pro or College Basketball Prospectus, where I was honored to be asked to contribute again this year. With the Pro article, I worked with Kevin Pelton to elucidate the issue of microfracture surgery in the NBA. (Mets fans seem to be avoiding having to worry about this topic so far.) For the College version, I looked at the fatigue factor for high school players who are on the court nearly year-round now.
I saw Joe Sheehan's proof at the First Pitch Arizona Symposium on Sunday, and it looked pretty good! Some great illustrations of various joint components. I merely flipped through, but I'll be adding it to my Amazon wish list.
