Reviews and Tweets

Hannah from Brooklyn, NY said on Goodreads:

I don't think I am reading this anymore but I am kind of in love with the boy who loaned it to me so I am not quite ready to totally throw in the towel.

OKAY FINE. I still love you to teeny little mushed up pieces but I am not reading this book.

Nancy from Melrose, MA said on Goodreads:

I know next to nothing about baseball, and less than that about statistics, but this book about applying new statistical thinking in baseball to the selection of a winning team (the Oakland A's) was absolutely riveting reading for me. Michael Lewis is just that good.

Kudos to Michael Lewis for making Moneyball such an engaging read despite being set in the world of a sport I could give a damn about.

#Moneyball did a surprisingly good job with the baseball side of the story. Like, better than Michael Lewis did. Of course, everything else?

Summary

Moneyball reveals a quest for something as elusive as the Holy Grail, something that money apparently can't buy: the secret of success in baseball. The logical places to look would be the giant offices of Major League teams and the dugouts. But the real jackpot is a cache of numbers collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors.

In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Lewis shows us how and why the new baseball knowledge works. He also sets up a sly and hilarious morality tale: Big Money, like Goliath, is always supposed to win.... How can we not cheer for David?
