I have got to get that book. There's a good profile/interview with him in today's Boston Globe (http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2006/03/30/numbers_cruncher/)
about what he's been working on for the Red Sox.
Of course, he mentions that Kansas City hates the Yankees even more than Boston does. Heh.

Dear Mr. Winchell,
We're looking into this issue as we speak. Security is priority one, of course, but we wanna make sure that within that high security zone we can deploy a user-experience of maximum parlayed enjoyment.
