Excerpt:

"I'm different," Sanderson stated. "I have found that I really am different. There's nobody like me. And not that it's good or bad.". Written with Kevin Shea, guide goes from a spur-of-the-moment cash purchase of a Rolls-Royce to sleeping under a bridge and stealing bottles of liquor. Called the Turk, Sanderson gained the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's leading novice in 1967-68. He played for the Bruins, Philadelphia Blazers (WHA), New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues and Vancouver Canucks prior to ending his NHL occupation with a quick stop in Pittsburgh in 1977-78. He had 202 goals, 250 helps and 911 penalty minutes in 598 NHL games. In his heyday, he might score, get rid of charges and fight. Far from the ice, the flamboyant Sanderson partnered with Joe Namath in a bar prior to beginning his very own string of dining establishments.

Key:

Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
