The teacher isn't tenured though  That's very cool, but there were courses on cooking and car repair and Latin Ballroom Dance when I was in school. |

I wish we had a SABR class here at MD. It would do so much good in the journalism school.

Of course, I mean I'm terrible at math. I mean more of understanding their usage and stuff. (And I don't mean that the j-school should run the class, I mean the university offering it as a stat class, which everyone has to take. It'd do a lot of good for people who cover baseball) |

SABR isn't "math" stuff. Maybe you mean sabermetrics? |

Interesting point: it is the "society of American Baseball Research" - SABR - but the statistical analytical method is referred to by SABR as "sabermetrics." |

Stat 101 is ok but these guys are heavily into regression, which is a course by itself. |

Bill James coined the phrase (I believe). It's fine but SABR isn't about stats but about the history of the game. |

Right. It could just as well be called "sabremetrics, I would think. |

Sabrametrics is about the statistical analysis of the IBL. |
