Summary

"<i>Moneyball</i> is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis follows the low-budget Oakland A's, visionary manager Billy Beane, and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball theorists. They are all in search of new baseball knowledge -- insights that will give the little guy who is willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money." --Back cover
