Winston-Salem, NC -- I'll be returning to my "home away from home" this weekend, "The Big A," "The ATL," Atlanta. Before I depart, here's some reading materials that I read this week that you can enjoy.
Story I -- This New York Times piece was written by Moneyball and The Blind Side author, Michael Lewis, so you know it's a good read. Lewis takes a stab on NBA "Moneyball" pioneer, Daryl Morey, GM of the Houston Rockets. I wrote a blog on Morey last year, but I had no information on the metrics and statistics that Morey uses for his NBA roster construction approach. This article parallels Shane Battier to the likes of former Oakland A's first baseman Scott Hatterberg; a lesser talented player bringing out the best of his team.
Story II -- Here's another interesting article that I found on CNN yesterday on how the Arizona Diamondbacks are combating the economic downfall. The ownership group and management team appear to be real winners.
Finally, this clip right here might be the funniest video of a fan caught dancing at a sporting event ever. While the length of the video may indicate that it's staged, it's nevertheless downright hilarious. The Celtics' fans really are having fun these days.
