Description

“You need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy . . . and incisiveness of [Moneyball]. Lewis has hit another one out of the park.” —Janet Maslin, New York Times
Billy Beane, the Oakland A’s general manager, is leading a revolution. Reinventing his team on a budget, he needs to outsmart the richer teams. He signs undervalued players whom the scouts consider flawed but who have a knack for getting on base, scoring runs, and winning games. Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball and a tale of the search for new baseball knowledge—insights that will give the little guy who is willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money.

Customer Reviews

Money ball

What a great story of an extraordinary person who was willing to throw out conventional wisdom and come up on the winning end of a truly unfair playing field. Billy Bean put everything on the line and has become a legend in the sports world by truly thinking outside the box.
I read this masterpiece years ago and wondered when it would be put into movie fair. The writer takes you on a journey that no other general manager in sports would dare travel then and now.
Billy Bean is a role model and an American icon worthy of any persons admiration .
And I'm a Yankee fan. Read it you won't be sorry.

Moneyball

More like a well-written algebra/statistics study guide - text - interesting, intriguing, thought provoking. Will lead to more enjoyment of the next game we watch.

Home run

Michael Lewis is the best writer in America today. He makes Friedman and his kin seem removed and academic. He takes esoteric topics and humanizes them through the stories of people.

This is an outstanding book about baseball - but it's really about thinking. About ideas and possibilities. That's what Michael Lewis writes about.

The book is richer than the movie. But the movie may be the best sports movie ever. Certainly among a handful of films that are true to the complexity and emotion of sport.
