20 years old???

That would be perfect because some of the "head to head" stats that people come up with goes much further back than that.

I remember a March Madness "head to head" stat from a couple of years ago. One team has an overall record of 5-2 against their opponent.....and the last time they met was in 1902.

So what does that mean???

It means that stats over a long period of time is basically irrelevant.

What is important are stats over a short period of time, such as within the current season.

If there is such a book, we would all be tycoons by now.
