Sabermetrics? What is "Sabermetrics?"
The statistical analysis of baseball. Sabermetrics
comes from combining SABR (for the Society for American Baseball Research)
with metric. It was coined by Bill James (also see link below). I have a
Ph.D. in economics and analyzing baseball is my hobby. This sites has links to my articles, some of which are from
"The Chicago Sports Review" and "Beyond the Boxscore." Click

Morong is actually a Polish name. There is a city in Poland
called Morag (Morąg). There is a little hook
on the a ( ą ) to give the end of the name the
"ong" sound. What may have happened is
that my grandfather told an immigration official his name and it may have
been entered on some form or document as Morong. It
is not Filipino, even though there is a town in the Philippines called Morong. (see
Morag)
Three of the papers listed below
by me were published in The Baseball Research Journal (published by SABR) and
three others were published in "By The Numbers," the newsletter of
SABR's Statistical Analysis Committee.
