Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game

Billy Beane, general manager of MLB's Oakland A's and protagonist of Michael Lewis's Moneyball, had a problem: how to win in the Major Leagues with a budget that's smaller than that of nearly every other team . . . 

Besides being one of the most insider accounts ever written about baseball, Moneyball is populated with fascinating characters along with highly accessible explanations of baseball stats.  The roadmap of Beane's economic approach makes Moneyball an appealing reading experience for business people and sports fans alike.
