Synopsis
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 it--before 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 possibilities--his intimate and original portraits of big league ballplayers are alone worth the price of admission--but 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 geek numbers show--no, 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 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 to--and 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 baseball--and management--books out.... Deserves a place in the Baseball Hall of Fame."--Forbes, Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball.

    An EXCELLENT transaction! I got an amazingly good price on a lovely set of 9 vintage books. They were all as described. Shipping was included and fast. Packaging was a sturdy box with packing paper to prevent shipping, and an outer wrapping of plastic to protect from moisture. Great seller, I would definitely buy from again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!! A++++++++ :) :) :)

    I purchased a very rare and expensive book from this dealer. The condition of the book was much better than the description in fact near perfect. The packaging was fine considering it’s weight and distance traveled. The book was sent almost immediately I purchased it. A great job very thorough and professional service. Tracking was fine until it got to ASENDIA I had no idea where it was or when it was arriving.when it did arrive there was a issue with delivery at this end.No fault of the vendor

    Delightful read - Informative - Thought Provoking and insightful.

    Having read the book many years ago I was excited to locate a copy available. Moneyball by Michael Lewis is certainly a wonderful read. The baseball fanatic that I am, I found the book to be a true delight as a peak behind the scenes of the world of baseball raft picks. A wealth of detail explains the individuals who are discussed within the book. Commonsense and thought provoking tops are covered in multiple chapters. Beyond a book which is just read chapter by chapter it is fantastic to write notes on quotes and ideas.

    It's about a lot more than baseball.

    I should have read this book when it first came out. It does a great job of using Major League Baseball to illustrate how humans will persist in silliness in the face of mountains of evidence that this is what we are doing. It reminds me of that famous quip by J.K. Galbraith that "Faced with a choice between changing one's mind and proving there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy with the proof."

    Great book that took the baseball world ...

    Great book that took the baseball world by storm 20+ yrs ago. I'm finally getting around to reading it. Well written. I don't know if you even need to be a baseball fan to enjoy. If you watched the film by the same title and enjoyed it you'll like this book.

    Compllling - insightful - Great behind the scenes look at building a team at a reasonable price

    Still reading the book but enjoying it immensely. I am also reading John Schuerholz' book "Built to Win" which I also bought through ebay. I highly recommend reading both books as the latter refers to the former quite a bit.
