There were a few key reasons I decided to read Money Ball. One of these was when I followed the major league in the past I had always know that the richest team (The New York Yankees) would always have a good year (except this year). Before I heard about this book and movie I thought no matter how good a poorer teams strategy was the money would always win. This book proved me wrong by telling the story of the manager of the A's that looked at baseball in a way that it has never been look at before. Because of this the Oakland A's (One of the poorest teams) were able to have multiple winning seasons and many play off appearances.
Other than the difference in the A's road to success I also picked up this book for a few other reasons. Aside from watching and following Major League Baseball I also have a few other connections to this story such as me playing baseball myself and liking underdog stories. I am also fond of the fact that this story conveys the message that money cant always beat hard work and strategy when it comes to sports and life in general. The cover of the book also interested me because it shows a bit of mystery. Those are the overall reasons I decided to read Money Ball.

That looks like a great book and isn't there a movie out about this book.
