I’ve always liked Street and Smith’s. When I was a kid I used to get their baseball preview and read it cover to cover. No exaggeration. I’d manually go over each player’s season ending stats to see who were the top 3 in each category. Hits, HR, BA, Doubles, Triples, Steals.
I can still recall stats from memory from those days because of combing through S&S. Andre Dawson hit .287 with 49 HR and 137 RBI in 1987. Dale Murphy hit 44 HR and drove in 105 runs that year. Tony Gwynn hit .370. I can’t tell you jack about who did what last year in MLB but ask me about 1984-1989 and I’m all over it.
