it would have been just as logical to link Moneyball to WWII.

This isn't a knock on the content of the article, but here is a pet peeve: Writers who get caught up in their flowery prose and overuse of the thesaurus.

"He is a small man -- they called him "Little Joe" in his playing days -- and you can see his 61 years in the gray around his mustache and the slight hitch in his walk, but standing here, fairly gleaming in his ex-jock mufti, Joe looks young, fit, and content. His shoes are fine and tasseled, his suit is a resplendent cream, his jacket is slung insouciantly over his left shoulder -- an iridescent look that falls somewhere between churchgoer and deckhand on the Love Boat"

I agree, it was much longer than it had to be. I accidentally re-read lines a couple times too, but I was trying to watch The Simpsons at the same time.

Why don't you ask Joe Morgan who wrote Moneyball, wonder what he'll tell you.
