Working on 796.3 for the RFID project, I stumbled on this book. Great find. Lewis looks at the 2002 Oakland As baseball team, analyizing its use of sabermaetrics, and its success (second winningest team, second lowest annual budget). He presents Billy Beane, and uses him as his protagonist, delves into Bill James and his invention of a new means of measuring success in baseball.
Great reading, engrossing.
