And I love that the afterword show how much of a moron Joe Morgan is.

Fantastic book. Michael Lewis is a wonderful writer. Too bad he wrote it before Theo Epstein took over as GM in Boston -- I'd love to hear Lewis's perspective on what happened when a sabermetrics believer got to use the system on a high-payroll team.
