My father is deafly afraid of computers. However he is completely obsessed with baseball stats. In his office there are 6 book shelves as tall as the room. Each shelf is filled with books with thousands of pages containing baseball stats. a few of them are literally from the 1800's (apparently they're worth a lot, his will currently has them being donated to some historical baseball society) he's been a member of SABR for as long as I can remember.
Its rather funny though, he spends hours every day sitting at a desk with paper and a pen calculating matrices of stats. I imagine what has taken him years to write could have probably been completed by a computer in minutes.
