A general perception is that Brogue shoes are only for grown up adults. But recent times have seen a certain shift from adult consumers to children and teens. Most companies have launched different variants of the Brogue shoes which resemble the sneakers and are available in array of unconventional designs.

The SABR Encyclopedia will bridge this gap by recognizing that statistics are central to the culture of baseball, but that at the same time baseball is much more than just statistics.
