    Opening Day Statistics | Stats + Stories Baseball Special - Stats + Stories
    Welcome to Stats+Stories today we are trying something a bit different, with Major League Baseball's opening day just hours away from the release of this episode we thought we would go back into the vault and throw some old school Stats+Stories baseball episodes at you.
    View this on Stats + Stories >

    1) Going as far back as you can go into the Stats+Stories archive, our first episode with former host Bob Long former panelist Richard Campbell, and guest Jim Albert with, "Baseball and Statistics" 

    2) Second features Terence Moore. Moore, who has worked at Atlanta Journal Constitution, CNN, ESPN and other notable outlets had a lot to say about "Reporting On Sports In The Digital Era" .

    3) Last but certainly not least, we have a more modern episode of the show which ironically happens to be about the oldest "Numbers Behind America's Pastime". Christopher Phillips joined us in episode 177 to discuss the entirety of baseball history from the first big league reporter from the early 1900s to the moneyball craze over a century later.
