Publisher Description
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 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?

Fascinating
Incredible that there were so many ways to look at existing, traditional information that so many people willingly ignored. Turns out I’ve been moneyballing at work recently and not even knowing it. Listening to this book came at the perfect time for me to believe in what I’m doing.
Storytelling was awesome as well as the reader/audio.
Great Book terrible narrator.
if i had the time to read the printed book that would have been infinitely better. This narrator seems to believe that his job is to dramatize the text rather than read it. Okay so maybe his job does include inflection and intonation. But he has taken it to an annoying extreme.
That said he is a long was from the worst i’ve encountered. i did not have to stop listening. AND I DID NOT WANT TO! Michael Lewis has a great subject and writes to it very well!
Fantastic. Great listen.
Incredibly well written. Love the science and backstory to changing the game - and sports - forever.
