Abstract

In Rob Neyer's chapter on San Francisco in his Big Book of Baseball Lineups, he speculates that there aren't really good baseball cities, and that attendance more closely correlates with winning percentage than with any other factor. He also suggests that a statistically minded person look at this. I took the challenge and have been playing with a lot of data.
