Grosnick: A brief interview with Tom Tango
From Bryan Grosnick at Beyond the Box Score on September 23, 2015:
Perhaps more than any other single researcher over the past decade, Tom Tango has done more to push forward the art and science of objective baseball analysis. From his work with Mitchel Lichtman and Andrew Dolphin on ‘The Book: Playing the Percentages in Baseball’, to the host of other concepts and creations (linear weights! wOBA! more!), to providing checks and assistance to plenty of analysts, Tango has been a stalwart of the public sabermetrics community.
