One of Berry's six favorite books, as told to The Week magazine:
Moneyball by Michael LewisRead about another book on Berry's list.
With sports, you've got to look at statistics all the time. But what's so brilliant about Moneyball is the way Michael Lewis tells the stories behind the stats. It's not a numbers book; it's a book about the people who use those numbers. It resonated with me in a big way.
Moneyball also appears on Will Dean's brief reading list on baseball and Richard J. Tofel's list of the five best books on baseball as a business, and among Sports Illustrated's five most influential sports books of the decade.
