‘Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game’ by Michael Lewis (2003) is a non-fiction book that examines how the Oakland Athletics baseball team, led by general manager Billy Beane, used data-driven analysis to compete with wealthier teams. Rejecting traditional scouting methods, Beane and his staff applied sabermetrics—statistical analysis of player performance—to identify undervalued talent. The book highlights how innovation and analytics revolutionised baseball management and challenged conventional wisdom. ‘Moneyball’ became a best-selling classic and inspired the 2011 Oscar-nominated film starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill.
