A review by eldiente
Scorecasting: The Hidden Influences Behind How Sports Are Played and Games Are Won by L. Jon Wertheim, Tobias Moskowitz

4.0

Audio version The vast majority of this book I listened to while jogging in the early mornings on the deck of a cruise ship while sailing in the Carribean. The setting in which I listened and the activity I was engaged in heightened my enjoyment of the book.

I particularly enjoyed the discussion of "value" as applied to the NFL football draft, and the attribution of the Chicago Cubs baseball team mediocrity to the indifference of the local fans.

I would recommend this to anyone with an intellectual interest in sports as a cultural and human phenomenom.
