| 4. There is a book by Michael Lewis called "Moneyball" |
|
This book "documents" Billy Beane's (general manager of the Oakland A's) strategies for drafting and fielding a major league baseball team. Michael Lewis practically fellates Beane throughout the entire book.

| 6. It seems to be working quite well for Beane. |
|
The A's have an incredible team this year, and they have been great in the last five years. All on one of the league's slimmest budgets.
