About this product

Product Information

Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis follows the low-budget Oakland A's, visionary general manager Billy Beane, and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball theorists. They are all in search of new baseball knowledge--insights that will give the little guy who is willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money.

    Great Book. Will Read again.

    A book I have waiting to read for a few years now, the recent release of the movie feature Brad Pitt finally got me to read the book prior to seeing the film. I was pleasantly surprised with ease the writer portrayed a story of statisticians and baseball managers alike. The book was an easy read and a great insiders look into the Old Boys Club mentality that has permeated baseball for over a century. A must read for baseball enthusiasts and your everyday reader as well.

    Great book for baseball fans

    I loved this book! Michael Lewis is a great business writer who gets the "story" out of successful or unique industries. The book is incredibly interesting because it explores how different baseball is from other businesses, as well as other professional sports. While it gives a lot of background and history, the information about current players and managers keep the book current. Moneyball provides a fresh look at the management of an old game, written in a very readable format.

    Moneyball hits a home run

    This is one of the best baseball books I've read in a long time. Even if you can't stand the Oakland A's like I do, it's still a wonderful story. It gives the average baseball fan a completely revolutionary perspective on the back room business of baseball. It answers the question of how a team with one of the lowest payrolls is capable of winning and keep winning year after year.

    Outstanding for anyone who loves baseball—or biometrics. With a great story as well.
