Do baseball historians drool over a players stats because they never had the ability to compete in baseball?

Baseball historians & fans love drooling & comparing players stats
more then any other sport.
Who do the historians & fans fall in love with the stats of a ball player instead of actually playing the game for fun?
I actually played baseball at the little league & high school levels & it was all about having fun & not about stats.
Is it safe to say that the historians & some fans that never had the ability to play baseball enjoy drooling over a players gaudy statistics?
