Billy Beane is the general manager of Major League Baseball's small-market Oakland A's. For the past three years, Beane has been taking on the big boys in baseball, winning more often than not, and making fools out of the owners who insist that baseball's economics are out of whack. Beane has figured out how to succeed with a limited ($40 million) payroll. He's doing it with computers and statistics wielded by a bunch of college boys who never played baseball. He refuses to pay big stars what they're worth because he's figured out how to replace them for a fraction of the cost, and above all, he refuses to pay big money for marginal players. All by himself, he has changed the game. Beane's story is covered in the best-selling book Moneyball, and is an important and fascinating tale for managers and executives from any industry or profession. Mark B. McClellan, M.P.A., M.D., Ph.D., Senior Fellow, AEI-Brookings Joint Center for Regulatory Studies and former Administrator for CMS
