Bill James made his mark in the 1970s and 1980s with his Baseball Abstracts. He has been tearing down preconceived notions about America’s national pastime ever since. He is currently the Senior Advisor on Baseball Operations for the Boston Red Sox, as well as the author of The Man from the Train where he has used his analytical expertise to crack an unsolved century-old mystery surrounding one of the deadliest serial killers in American history. James lives in Lawrence, Kansas, with his wife, Susan McCarthy, and three children.
