"I am, on the other hand, not a journalist, and thus my deadline is December 15th, not 10:45. If I want to spend a month of my life analyzing the role of an outfielder’s throwing arm in preventing runs, I have that freedom. And that is the sort of thing I’m interested in, so that is the sort of thing I do."
The Bill James 1984 Baseball Abstract.
I love baseball more than almost anything and I can easily say that a month devoted to that kind of work sounds awful. Still, I’m incredibly thankful that Bill James and the rest of the mathematically gifted seamheads do it, so that I can enjoy the spoils.
