Oh and I think this http://www.amazon.ca/The-Extra-2-Strategies-Baseball/dp/0345517652 is actually better than MoneyBall FWIW. The Rays did arguably more with less than Oakland did but Oakland came first and had a Brad Pitt movie so I get that's what people call it but it's far from the only case.
The Rays are Moneyball 2.0. They use statistical analysis to decide which players to sign, and it carries over to how they manage games. It tells them how to set their batting order, where to have their defense stand against a certain hitter, and which pitcher to use. I don't think that kind of dependency on statistical analysis would work in any sport besides baseball.
Besides, it doesn't take much analysis to say "Baines is boss on set pieces, he should take this free kick."
