Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz!

Now a Hollywood blockbuster, Moneyball is a quest for the secret of success in baseball. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions, at bat for the second time on the show, returning author Michael Lewis follows the low-budget Oakland A’s. The visionary general manager Billy Beane, and his strange brotherhood of amateur baseball theorists go all in on a search of new baseball knowledge. They’ll change the game forever finding insights that give the little guy who is willing to discard old wisdom the edge over big money.
