Starting IX is a baseball history book that combines the stories of baseball's past with the statistics of baseball's present and future. By combining baseball's top metrics and most indelible tales (FIP and Pipp, if you will), a starting lineup for each franchise in baseball history is chosen. Starting IX goes beyond the typical baseball history book in both its scale and its scope. No topic is left uncovered; no question is left unanswered. Who was the best center fielder in Yankees history: Mantle or DiMaggio? What would the all-time, father-son starting lineup look like? How did the MLB career of Carlos Beltran mirror the acting career of Steve Carell? All these questions and many, many (many) more are answered inside these pages. Starting IX is the perfect book for baseball addicts: it makes use of the best and newest metrics the sport has to offer and applies these statistics to age-old baseball questions. Starting IX is also the perfect book for newer baseball fans whose love for the sport may just be blossoming: it relies on the author's contagious love of the game to engage readers from cover-to-cover.
Jim Turvey was born in 1990, the first of three children. He is currently a freelance sports writer, with a heavy emphasis on baseball. He grew up a Yankees fan in Vermont and, as a result, has burned the entire month of October, 2004 out of his memory. He graduated the University of Vermont in 2012 with a history degree before moving to Jamaica Plain to work in the Boston Public School System. After two years molding the minds of youngsters, he moved to Crookston, Minnesota to chase his sports writing dream with the Crookston Daily Times. He won the Gatehouse Media Rising Star award in his first year on the job, a fact he tries to slip into far too many conversations. After a move back east, he has written for many an online MLB outlet, including: DRays Bay (SBNation), The Cauldron, Beyond the Box Score, Baseball Prospectus Bronx, RotoBaller, Insider Baseball, Call to the Pen, and Banished to the Pen. He has also been published in Baseball Research Journal and Howler Magazine. He truly loves his friends and family.
