Moneyball
question
by Michael Lewis

a small group of undervalued professional baseball players and executives, many of whom had been rejected as unfit for the big leagues, who had turned themselves into one of the most successful franchises in Major League Baseball. However, the idea for the story formed when Lewis noticed that the Oakland Athletics (the A's) were winning a lot of baseball games, even though they were one of the poorest teams in baseball.
This book made me continue to make me wonder and i could never put it down, once it even got me off my feet questioning one persons actions.
this book should be one of the required books that we read it is so good and its about sports, who doesn't like sports.

Quite a lot of people.

Politics 101 = Bread and Circus. Distract the public with gladiators. The sports industry is quite a vast complex. Rather like talking religion with some folks. Could be, Brandon, that you would also appreciate Michael's Blind Side.

This book was about finding inefficiencies in the market.
You can extrapolate the "Moneyball" way of thinking to anything. I see a direct relation to the Blue Ocean Strategy.

Based on Oakland's record this year -- best in the majors -- and the number of All Stars voted in from an unheralded group, his Moneyball strategy looks pretty smart. And I say that as a Mets fan.
