The 1936 Yankees, the 1963 Dodgers, the 1975 Reds, the 2010
Giants-why do some baseball teams win while others don't? General
managers and fans alike have pondered this most important of
baseball questions. The Moneyball strategy is not the first example
of how new ideas and innovative management have transformed the way
teams are assembled. In Pursuit of Pennants examines and analyzes a
number of compelling, winning baseball teams over the past
hundred-plus years, focusing on their decision making and how they
assembled their championship teams. Whether through scouting,
integration, instruction, expansion, free agency, or modernizing
their management structure, each winning team and each era had its
own version of Moneyball, where front office decisions often made
the difference. Mark L. Armour and Daniel R. Levitt show how these
teams succeeded and how they relied on talent both on the field and
in the front office. While there is no recipe for guaranteed
success in a competitive, ever-changing environment, these teams
demonstrate how creatively thinking about one's circumstances can
often lead to a competitive advantage.
