Chartjunk, but in a good cause!

From Dan Goldstein:

Pretty good, but really the pie chart should be three-dimensional, shown at an angle, and with one or two of the slices popping out.

P.S. They seemed to have placed a link for the Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract. That book’s ok, but what I was really recommending were his Abstracts from 1982-1986, which are something else entirely.

  1. The pie chart's colours are too distinguishable, reifying the separative heteronormative model of statistics and, by implication, society as a whole. At the risk of pointing out the obvious, it also looks like a penis (three-dimensional! active!) entering a vagina (two-dimensional! passive!).
