</a>"Lee Sinins' Complete Encyclopedia is best reason yet developed
to own a computer. I think I must own a copy of every baseball
encyclopedia there is or ever was, and occasionally I find that I still
need to pull out one of the others, but not very often; the Complete
Encyclopedia covers 97% of my needs. Whether I'm working or playing,
calculating or daydreaming, the Complete Encyclopedia pops up to help
out. I turn it on in the morning; I turn it off when the house is on
fire. Otherwise, I'm using it."--Bill James<br><br>
