my favorites:
2. a young player is not what he looks like or what might become but what he has done
6. bunts, stolen bases, hit and runs - they were mostly self-defeating and all had a common theme: fear of public humiliation
7. ... the technical man with his analytical magic should have risen to prominence in baseball management, just as he was rising to prominence on say wall street
8. maybe they were just lucky. or maybe they knew something other people didn't. maybe they were as they privately thought, becoming more efficient
9. in human behavior there is always uncertainty and risk. the goal of oakland was to minimize the risk
10. trading players wasn't any different from trading stocks and bonds. a trader with better information could make a killing and billy was certain he had better information.
