Moneyball – the art of winning an unfair game.

Michael Lewis

cover

After reading this book, you’ll never be able to listen to sports commentary
the same way again. In fact, you’ll never be able to read the financial
or business pages the same way again.

Moneyball debunks commentary as based purely on perception
and prejudice rather than fact.

But before we get into what this book does, it’s more important to
discuss how it does it. Moneyball above all else is a good
read. A ‘you can’t put it down’ sort of read. Not bad for a book on
baseball – a subject I know virtually nothing about and, until now,
had no interest in learning.
