Michael Lewis and Moneyball
A book of Michael Lewis chronicles the 2002 Oakland Athletics season, in which the Athletics became American League West champions. It is focussed on William Beane’s approach to managing the Oakland Athletics under significant financial constraints compared with most Major League Baseball clubs. In 2011, Columbia Pictures released a movie named Moneyball. It is based on Lewis’ book. The world famous actor William Bradley Pitt played the role of Beane.
