Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

I know Al gets most of the kudo's here on the book, "Cubs By The Numbers" (after all...it's his blog), but I was also involved. I thought I would just pass along a nice story from my local paper on me and the book! And remember (obligitory plug coming here) you can easily buy it at Amazon.com. It makes a great Mothers Day or Fathers Day present!

Just got mine this week in the mail

I’ve already finished reading it, just could not put it down. Great book and a great job Kasey. Your website has been a resource of mine for some time, now I have this great book to go along with it! To anyone on BCB that does not own this, talk about a steal of a reference book and a great read! You will dog ear the pages on this one.

Very cool, that's gotta be a good feeling...

to get recognition from your hometown paper!

Afterall, you’re the one who did most of the work on this project, right?

Um, no, he isn't.

It was a collaboration between three people, all of whom contributed considerable work to this project.

Do not make assumptions or cast aspersions on people when you do not know the facts.

I don't think he was.

I have heard this from others. Anyone who takes that point of view is incorrect.
