Larry Mantle talks with best-selling author Michael Lewis about his new book Moneyball: The Art Of Winning An Unfair Game (W.W. Norton). It is a behind-the-scenes look at the business, practice, and personalities of baseball. Lewis highlights the Oakland A's as a microcosm of a new kind of baseball knowledge, a rethinking of the way the game is perceived and played. And, Lewis argues that the driving force behind this revolution is an executive widely admired as baseball's newest genius: A's general manager Billy Beane.
