In “Moneyball,” Michael Lewis takes us behind the scenes of baseball’s Oakland A’s, revealing how general manager Billy Beane revolutionized the game. With a shoestring budget, Beane defied conventional wisdom, using data analysis to build a competitive team.

The pleasure of rooting for Goliath is that you can expect to win.
