This was a fun read for those baseball fans that are bewildered by how baseball teams build and manage said teams. My husband enjoys watching the Oakland A's, which is the subject of this book; but like other Lewis' works, this one is more about the culture and industry than just the this one team. ...

Still, sportswriting remains an...
This book is so awesome...so awesome!!! I may be partially biased because I've always been an A's fan, and I've also always been really cheap (a piker, my family affectionately calls me), and this book basically glorifies both of those things.
