Just before the 2002 season opens, the Oakland Athletics must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players and is written off by just about everyone—but then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. How did one of the poorest teams in baseball win so many games?

Thoughts

I must have bought this audiobook around the same time as watching the film, and just like the film, I enjoyed it without really understanding all the intricate details. There were a lot of names and teams and people moving this way and that, and whilst it was tricky for someone not fully into baseball to follow it all, I still quite enjoyed the flow of the piece. It’s read by Scott Brick, too, who always does a good job.
