Stats used to be a big part of baseball. They have changed the rules so many times nothing is comparable over time. Players change teams multiple times. I quit caring a long time ago and didn’t expose my kids to it. They don’t care either.

They have added new statistics, such as WAR, wins above replacement, which was supposed to measure a player’s value compared to other players , as I understand it.

I have not kept up with how you calculate these new statistics that they talk about. I don’t understand the significance of those stats.
