For any sports fan, this is one of the "have to reads", or at least that's what I've always been told. Finally got around to reading it and I definitely agree. It's a story surrounding the Oakland A's success around the turn of the century (isn't that a fun term to use for 9 years ago) when with one of the lowest payrolls in baseball they were winning more games than just about anyone. It's also very much a story about several people in the book, notably Billy Beane, the A's GM. In some ways, it was a typical sports non-fiction book with some inside story's, a view of how a team operates and quite a bit of humor. However, what really sets it apart was the detail author Michael Lewis gave in showing how Beane and the A's actually "thought" when it came to developing their players. By using both detailed statistics and generally worded descriptions, it was easy to understand what they were doing, and by the end you think "of course, any idiot knows that" although then you remember this was all revolutionary at the time in sports, and especially in the "old-school" sport of baseball. Although some of the allure has been lost as the A's weren't able to keep up their remarkable success, they are still known as one of the top notch organizations when it comes to turning a low payroll into a winner. Being a Rays fan (2nd to your World Champion Philadelphia Phillies, which I just love typing), it was interesting to compare and contrast there recent rise to prominence in a similar payroll situation. If you could care less about sports and baseball, not one of those books that transcends the subject in anyway (you'll be bored very quickly). However, if you enjoy the game in anyway, this is definitely a must-read.
