A Role for Empirics

I have not written in a while and this will be just a short post on contradiction in my views around empirical analysis.

I ask, is it fair of me to constantly minimize the usefulness of empirical analysis in economics while doting over baseball statistics?

This site is a must see for any fan of baseball or empirical analysis!

It looks a little "90's", but search for a favorite player and go from there...this website is truly a triumph of data collection.
