I am writing this on June 27th, 2012 after I went back to my list of blog posts and realized that I never finished this one. Moneyball was fun for me for a lot of reasons, primarily because it gave me a reason to talk baseball with people who don't usually have an interest in it. Brad Pitt can do that to even the most "boring" of sports. Naturally, I read Michael Lewis' book of the same name and enjoyed it very much. I later read Jonah Keri's book The Extra 2% (about how the Tampa Bay Rays can survive in a division with powerhouse teams such as the Yankees and the Red Sox) and enjoyed that more than Moneyball.
