Moneyball
I finished listening to Moneyball a few days ago. It was a pretty good book. Pretty interesting how the A's have been able to field a competitive team with such little cash and how what you think is important in baseball really doesn't have that big of an effect on the game. Overall, not great but it wasn't to long and was a neat combination of the scientific method, objectivity vs. subjectivity, statistics, and baseball.
On a side note, it would be interesting to run some sabermetric like statistics on all the data gathered from SWOOSH.
