About this listen
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?
©2004 Michael Lewis (P)2011 Random HouseWhat the critics say
"The single most influential baseball book ever." (Rob Neyer, Slate)
"Another journalistic tour de force." (Wall Street Journal)
"Engaging, informative, and deliciously contrarian." (Washington Post)

Moneyball Is a Home Run
The writing, the philosophy of seeing value in what others don’t, and the timing of the success of the team while the writer was there to witness it all, creates a brilliant triumph. A triumph of both writing and that of Billy Beane!
I listen to this over and over.
Brilliant!

If you liked the movie you will love the book.
Title says it all. If you enjoyed the movie then you will enjoy the book. Goes into more detail on specific players and the sabre metrics. Even if you didn't see the movie but love baseball, you will enjoy this book.
