Book Reviews of Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
Book Review: Thorough and prescient
Summary: 5 Stars
Not much I can add that has not already been mentioned about this revolutionary book. It does get a tad repetitive and wordy in the economic theory portions, but the fact that pro baseball teams, their scouts, and other top brass utilize Lewis and Beane's theories prove this book has merit. Moneyball is an indictment of all the socialist baseball haters who think money wins baseball games. This is clearly proven false each year, starting with the Athletics nearly a decade ago.Book Review: Moneyball
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love baseball and have any kind of appreciation for statistics, you'll love this book.Book Review: Moneyball as antidote to stupidity
Summary: 5 Stars
Read Michael Lewis' Moneyball before the playoffs get too far along. As Lewis quotes someone in the book "Up till I was 14 years old, everything I learned about baseball came from broadcasters. And it was all b------t!" So before Joe Morgan et al start waxing eloquently about "manufacturing runs, etc." (which means abandoning the game that got you to the playoffs), you better immunize yourself with this book. It's simply the best baseball book ever. Book Review: Amazing Insight
Summary: 5 Stars
Provides intriguing insight into the real skills that are required by a major leaguer and those coaching decisions that do and don't make sense.Book Review: A Must for Baseball Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone who considers themselves a die-hard baseball fan must read this book.... but you knew that already.
