The central premise of Moneyball is that the collected wisdom of baseball insiders (including players‚ managers‚ coaches‚ scouts‚ and the front office) over the past century is subjective and often flawed. Statistics such as stolen bases‚ runs batted in‚ and batting average‚ typically used to gauge players‚ are relics of a 19th-century view of the game and the statistics available at that time.

Lloyd George was never a party man and cannot be said to have served his party well‚ he played an ultimately destructive role in the party; the split of the Liberal party owes much to ‘the man who won the war’.
