Moneyball

Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it can buy success in sports if managed correctly. We as fans of sports love to marvel at the physical performance of the players who play for our favorite sports teams, but what many of us do not know is without the financial cooperation of those players with their organizations, the success that results on the field is not possible. The premier example of this phenomenon is the success of the New England Patriots. They were able to win 6 super bowls in 20 years with their Quarterback, Tom Brady, simply because he took less money to help his team manage money around the roster in a more efficient manner. The result of this method: one of the biggest dynasties in the history of professional sports.
