As Recommended for In Flight Reading on this blog in 2010:

MoneyBall, by Michael Lewis


From the same matchless mind that gave us Sandra Bullock’s BlindSide Oscar role, a chance to see and hear (the writing is so vivid, you're practically there)the deal making of professional baseball, America’s favorite summer game.

NYTimes Review.

Winning Isn't Everything. . .It's just better than the alternative.

"Let Us embrace and distill the human condition, and let Us call it. . . baseball."
