Author Michael Lewis has a knack for picking topics I enjoy -
finance
,
Wall Street
,
baseball
,
football
,
fatherhood
- and writing entertaining, hard-to-put-down books about these topics. I've read all of the books linked to in the last sentence and I can honestly say I loved each one of them. Now, his books are starting to be made into movies. First came
The Blind Side
, for which BYU should have also
won on Oscar. Next comes
Moneyball, the story of how the Oakland A's modernized baseball scouting with an analytical approach to assembling a team. Could this be the next great baseball movie after
The Natural
?
