Intro IRB Post #2- "Moneyball" by Michael Lewis


For the second marking period, I will be reading “Moneyball” by Michael Lewis. “Moneyball” is a non-fiction text recounting the 2002 MLB season for the Oakland Athletics under the administration of general manager Billy Beane. Despite on of the lowest payrolls in the league, the Athletics were able to make an incredible run to the playoffs, surprising many of the league’s top teams. I selected this book because I am interested in great sports stories and am intrigued by Lewis’ style, which relies on the use of statistics analytic evidence. From reading “Moneyball,” I hope to become a better active reader and learn about the unique style Lewis uses in the book to convey the information and impact of the text.
