Just before the 2002 season opens, the Oakland Athletics must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players and is written off by just about everyone—but then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. How did one of the poorest teams in baseball win so many games? In a quest to discover the answer, Michael Lewis delivers 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). Lewis first looks to all the logical places—the front offices of major league teams, the coaches, the minds of brilliant players—but discovers the real jackpot is a cache of numbers?numbers!?collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors. What these numbers prove is 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 had 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. He paid attention to those numbers?with the second-lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had to?to conduct an astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. 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?

  1. There was, for starters, the tendency of everyone who actually played the game to generalize wildly from his own experience. People always thought their own experience was typical when it wasn’t.

  2. That the ability to control the strike zone was the greatest indicator of future success. That the number of walks a hitter drew was the best indicator of whether he understood how to control the strike zone.

Great Book. As a budding sports analyst, this book gave me some great insights on how an analyst should look at the game. Some of the metrics discussed in the book are also very eye opening and can be migrated to other sports.

Reviewed in India on 14 July 2014

About to finish this book... A good read but I got confused about the basics of baseball terms and the way in which baseball is run in the USA. But overall it teaches u that u need to look at things in a person other than just talent to gauge if he is a winner... Talent isn't an innate quality of human beings.

3.0 out of 5 stars Data is Gold
Reviewed in India on 13 February 2021

The book gives the perspective about how data is gold! With the world focussing on data analytics and data mining, this surely relates to that.
People who dont follow baseball, would however not be able to relate to the names of players or terms used during a game.

2.0 out of 5 stars Don’t read unless you are very much in to the game and into Data analysis.
Reviewed in India on 6 April 2016
The art of winning an unfair game.

That summarizes the book. It's about a manager of the team who suffers from underfunding and uses Data analytics to help his team perform and win. The team one of the most underfunded, plays excellently under his leadership and his embrace of technology. The book reveals the inside of the team, of Billy Beans managerial role and some of his controversial decisions.

The idea and the perspective though offered in unique, I would rate it as a very mediocre book. Also, Unless you are a fan of the game, the book won't appeal much to you. The details presented also almost seem a bore.

Don’t read unless you are very much in to the game and into Data analysis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review from a non-baseball person ---- it's a good book
Reviewed in Canada on 19 October 2023
Verified Purchase
I like this book and I like Lewis' writing style.

That said, if you aren't a baseball fan - and I am not - then there will be parts that will drag. But that isn't really a fault of the book or the writer in the least bit. I can't see this book being marketed as anything other than a book about baseball, for baseball fans. It literally is exactly what it sells itself as.

That said, if you can sit through the bits that drag to the parts that could serve some value for non-baseball fans (like me) then I think you are in for a rewarding experience. The book just barely touches 300 pages so it's not particularly long either.

I have seen the movie and enjoyed it so I decided to read the book. As always, the movie only scratches the surface of a fascinating history. I know very little about baseball (as a matter of fact, I think it is really boring), but Lewis writing made it easy for me to understand the principles behind the management system proposed by Billy Beane. As an engineer, it was cool seeing science and hard and cold data driving the decision-making process and get good results out of it.

When reading about sabermetrics in baseball, you either are so much into it or you start and wish to suicide immediately after page 1o or 2. Well, this book is a greatly entertaining adventure about baseball and how some “nerds” changed this beautiful game forever. The author has this weird gift to make you feel as you were there when Beane is negotiating a trade on the phone or when players discuss how to face what seems to be their Moby Dick more than a tough pitcher. Everything while explaining how data drove a club to success while surrounded by teams with tons of money the A’s didn’t have. Beautiful book!
