The Speed of the Idea
This chapter talks about stealing bases. It mentions how the teams that stole more bases, score less runs because they are usually tagged out. They have turned a player from a base stealer into a non-risk base taker, so he is extra cautions when he is running bases. In the Athletics division, they are finally in first with the lowest payroll. They have proven to the entire Major League of Baseball that they do not need money to become successful in baseball. It continue to reflects throughout the chapter about the Oakland Athletic journey of Billy Beane, but it attempts to focus on the present. He talks about how he possibly wants to go to another team instead of the Oakland Athletics and leaves a hanger about whether or not he did.
My final view of this book is that it was rather disappointing. I expected this book to be fairly interesting, but it was like a roller coaster or entertainment. Some points were really boring while others were ok. There was nothing really exciting about this book and I hope my choice improves as I get to the next one I choose whatever that book may be.
