Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. Following the low-budget Oakland Athletics, their larger-than-life general manger, Billy Beane, and the strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts, Michael Lewis has written not only "the single most influential baseball book ever" (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what "may be the best book ever written on business" (Weekly Standard). "I wrote this book because I fell in love with a story. The story concerned 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. But the idea for the book came well before I had good reason to write itbefore I had a story to fall in love with. It began, really, with an innocent question: how did one of the poorest teams in baseball, the Oakland Athletics, win so many games" With these words Michael Lewis launches us into the funniest, smartest, and most contrarian book since, well, since Liar's Poker. Moneyball is 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 front offices of major league teams, and the dugouts, perhaps even in the minds of the players themselves. Lewis mines all these possibilitieshis intimate and original portraits of big league ballplayers are alone worth the price of admissionbut the real jackpot is a cache of numbersnumbers!collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers and physics professors. What these geek numbers showno, proveis that the traditional yardsticks of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. Even the box score misleads us by ignoring the crucial importance of the humble base-on-balls. This information has been around for years, and nobody inside Major League Baseball paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, General Manager of the Oakland Athletics. Billy paid attention to those numbers with the second lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had toand this book records his astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. Moneyball is a roller coaster ride: before the 2002 season opens, Oakland must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players, is written off by just about everyone, and then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael 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"One of the best baseballand managementbooks out....Deserves a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame."Forbes Moneyball Trailer 2011 HD - YouTube Moneyball Official Trailer 2011 HD More info: moviesyahoocom Genres: Drama Biopic and Sports Release Date: September 23rd 2011 (wide) Home W W Norton & Company Anatomy of Terror From the Death of bin Laden to the Rise of the Islamic State Ali Soufan In early 2011 the heart of the Muslim world roiled in protest consumed Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game Wikipdia Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game est un ouvrage amricain de Michael Lewis publi en 2003 Il dcrit l'approche moderne analytique dite sabermtrie Michael Lewis The Official Website Related Articles Michael Lewis and The Undoing Project: Why gut instincts are often wrong CBS News Review: Michael Lewis on Two Well Matched (but Moneyball - Wikipedia Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game is a book by Michael Lewis published in 2003 about the Oakland Athletics baseball team and its general manager Billy Beane Moneyball (film) - Wikipedia Moneyball is a 2011 American sports drama film directed by Bennett Miller from a screenplay by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin The film is based on Michael Lewis's Moneyball (2011) - IMDb Directed by Bennett Miller With Brad Pitt Robin Wright Jonah Hill Philip Seymour Hoffman Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to assemble Die Kunst zu gewinnen Moneyball Wikipedia Die Kunst zu gewinnen Moneyball ist ein US-amerikanisches Sportdrama von Bennett Miller aus dem Jahr 2011 Der Film basiert auf dem Buch Moneyball: The Art of Moneyball Sony Pictures Screenplay Aaron Sorkin Steven Zaillian Based on a Work by Michael Lewis Executive Producer Scott Rudin Sidney Kimmel Andrew Karsch Mark Bakshi Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game - : Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game (8601404243448): Michael Lewis: Books
