ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game" by Michael Lewis tells the story of Billy Beane, the general manager of the Oakland Athletics, and his attempt to revolutionize baseball by using data driven strategies. Faced with a limited budget, Beane challenges traditional scouting methods and embraces sabermetrics to identify undervalued players.

The book follows Beane's efforts to build a competitive team by exploiting market inefficiencies and prioritizing statistical analysis over conventional wisdom. This approach leads to tension with traditional baseball insiders but ultimately results in unprecedented success. "Moneyball" explores themes of innovation, perseverance, and the power of objective analysis in the face of established norms. The book showcases how an underdog can challenge the status quo.
