This book is about a new general manager for the Oakland Athletics. Billy Beane was once the best high school baseball player in America. After an unsuccessful pro career, he retired to be a scout, eventually becoming a GM. Without the money other teams in the MLB have, Billy has to get cheaper players and build a successful program. In this true story, Billy makes the A’s become one of the top teams in the league and set a record for most games won in a row. He does all of this with the lowest salary cap in the entire league. To know more about the struggles and tribulations Billy goes through, read this book.
I think this book really shows a good example of the real world. Some people arent blessed with as much as others, but still have to get the job done. Billy has the lowest salary in the MLB, and turns it into something really special which i liked. I really liked this book because i love baseball and it showed me how the industry really works behind the players and the games. One of my dreams is to work somewhere in the MLB and this book inspired me even more, i loved it.
