One of the greatest,
Baseball books of all time. It is enjoyable to read from cover to cover and tells a great story. Some of the story may be lose if one does not recognize the names it brings up throughout the book but the ones that are important to the story are always developed and portrayed beautifully.
Brilliant!
Moneyball is one of the most compelling stories in modern sports. The Oakland A's with their meager payroll represent a true David vs. Goliath tale. Michael Lewis exposes the backstories and heartbreaks of the team dubbed most appropriately as the "island of misfit toys." A reader cannot help but genuinely care about the subjects of this book and root for their continued success. Critics of Billy Beane and saber metrics management only serve to make themselves look foolish. Read this book today. You won't regret it.
Money ball
I've read it twice. Extremely humorous and entertaining. Very thought provoking not only about baseball but about how it is possible to rethink concepts and views that have long been deemed to be definitive and valid beyond question. Highly recommended.
