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.
