New Bill James Encyclopedia

Fans talk.

"It doesn't look very good at this point...not good at all. It looks GREAT! This appears to be the ultimate baseball statistical reference...Better than anything else out there, in software OR book form.

"The statistical offerings, and the incredible flexibility of the program, makes a comparison between the two [Bill James Encyclopedia and Microsoft Complete Baseball] a waste of time. THIS is the program to buy if you want a statistical compendium of baseball.

"Kudos to the crowd at MA...they've really outdone themselves with this." -- K. Leibowitz, GEnie critic

"Wow, the new Encyclopedia is FANtastic! You know those commercials that go, 'It's in there', well if you want to find it, it's in there. Now I have one complete source for all the stats. And the charts you can build. If they don't play ball this year, I probably won't notice, I'll still be in the BJE discovering the things I didn't even know existed about baseball. A must buy." -- Ken Waites, GEnie critic

"Has it all...You'll have to find some time out from Bill James Encyclopedia to play some games. It can be 'habit forming'." -- Phil Medon, APBA Journal columnist, on GEnie

"The release of the Bill James Encyclopedia is a major break-through, matched only in importance by Macmillan Publishing Company's introduction of its ground-breaking baseball encyclopedia twenty-six years ago.

"With this CD-ROM product, Miller Associates now offers the electronics age standard in baseball research capability. There is nothing to match this product on bookshelf or computer disc.

"The Encyclopedia is easy to operate and is limited only by the user's imagination to plum its incredible statistical base for information. It won't be long before fans, the media and officials in the game will be using it as routinely as a scorecard." -- Red Sears, Executive Sports Editor, retired, The Baltimore Evening Sun

"For years I have dreamed about somehow having access to all the stats, even the stats from ancient seasons. Now finally I have my dream--the new Encyclopedia for Windows. It has everything. The surprises, such as the Quote of the Day and the complete awards and HOF listings, make it by far and away the best baseball reference product available anywhere. It's more than enough by itself to justify the installation of a CD-ROM." -- A. Berger, NY

CGW Forecast Highs: "Stat-oriented gamers will be very pleased with the way Miller Associates' Bill James Encyclopedia for Windows integrates with their Baseball for Windows draft disk. In fact, the product integrates Sabremetrics (Bill James' creative statistical tools) and custom search functions so smoothly that it is just what we had wished Microsoft's [Complete] Baseball product could have been" -- Computer Gaming World, March 1995

"Skips the multimedia glitz and remains true to its namesake, the maniac who brought statistical obsessiveness out of the locker. This orthodox King James version of the baseball bible lets you hyper-analyze stats from the game's history in a billion amazing and tendentious ways." -- GQ, April 1995

"The BJEE is unparalleled...a true data base, there is a 'custom list' capability that the user can truly customize to his whim--any statistical category that is defined in the program, be it offensive, defensive or pitching, can be used as a variable of choice for players, teams, divisions or leagues, for the whole history of baseball or for any used-defined period. If this prospect doesn't have you drooling, you should bet your salivary glands checked. This program constitutes a new benchmark in the data source category and is easily the best thing ever to come along to fill this function." -- The Games People Play Newsletter, March 1995

"I can have both the Encyclopedia open as well as Wizard and just toggle back & forth to see the cards and see the season's stats for the player I'm looking at. I guess I'm just a multi-taskin' fool." -- T. Battiato, Prodigy critic
