It's not easy to stand out from the crowd, no matter the field.

Some people are phenomenal painters, sure; others might be lightning fast on the Rubix Cube. Maybe your local barista is particularly proficient in latte art. But for all of their talents, few of these people are completely unrivalled in their domain.

The sporting arena is no exception. There is no shortage of brilliant athletes who have graced the field, pitch or rink; plenty of incredible accomplishments which have been etched into the annals of history.

There are only a select few, however, who have separated themselves as statistical outliers.

From Tiger Woods to Don Bradman; the Boston Celtics of the '50s and '60s to the West Indies cricket team of the '80s and '90s; Sport's Greatest Statistical Anomalies takes a deep dive into - you guessed it - sport's greatest statistical anomalies, examining the stats, studying the stories, and exploring how they became more than just a number.
