Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game is a 2003 book by Michael Lewis. It follows the Oakland Athletics and their general manager, Billy Beane, as they compete with richer teams despite having one of the smallest payrolls in baseball. Lewis shows how Beane and his staff used statistical analysis to find undervalued players and challenge the game's traditional scouting wisdom. The book influenced sports and business alike and was adapted into a 2011 film starring Brad Pitt.
