'The genius of Bill James': From Reader No. 1:

"Compare the attached end of 1983 projection of Wade Boggs' career, from the 1984 Bill James Baseball Abstract, with Boggs' actual numbers:

"James 1983 projection of career hits: 3023; actual hits: 3010

"1983 projection of games played: 2,446; actual: 2,339

"James projection of when Boggs' career ends: 1999 - well 'you could look it up.'

"I'm glad Boggs was working for us. I'm glad James IS working for us."
