Book Reviews of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Book Review: "Beane"ermetrics
Summary: 4 Stars
Very insightful, journalistic account of how Billy Beane, the General Manager of the Oakland A's, synthesized a lot of other peoples' ideas (Bill James in particular) to field a baseball team that could compete with and beat the NY Yankees for 1/3 the cost. The author, Michael Lewis, is primarily a financial writer and has previously penned gems like Liar's Poker. But he was interested in Billy Beane for the same reason people write about Steve Jobs; he's innovative, he takes risks, and is wildly successful most of the time. Even if you don't like baseball, this will be one of the most mesmerizing books you will have read in quite sometime, but as a baseball fan - I was entranced. - blogophobe -
