"Moneyball" — The Movie

By Steve Sailer

From my review of the new Brad Pitt movie in Taki’s Magazine:

When my son was ten, his baseball coach — inspired by Michael Lewis’s bestseller Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game — came up with a statistically brilliant team strategy: Don’t swing. Ever.
Because few ten-year-olds can throw more strikes than balls, his team won the pennant by letting the little boy on the mound walk them around the bases until he dissolved into tears and had to be replaced by another doomed lad.
The next spring, the parents got together and decided not to let that coach return.
Moneyball the movie is, easily, the greatest feature film ever made about baseball statistics.

Read the whole thing there.
