Michael Lewis quotes
" Baseball is this intense subculture that actually doesn't speak very much for the larger culture. "

Michael Lewis
" Book tours are almost designed to beat out of an author any affection he has for his book. "

Michael Lewis
" I don't think there is a national pasttime. Watching TV is a national pasttime. Really. If there is a national pasttime, it is watching TV. "

Michael Lewis
" I think that fans are always looking for someone to blame. Wouldn't it be nice if they looked in the mirror? "

Michael Lewis
" If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it. "

Michael Lewis
" If you like crafty stuff they are going to open the market for crafty people. When Jaime Moyer of the Seattle Mariners pitches, I love watching him. In a way it is a much more interesting game than watching Randy Johnson pitch. You are not only watching a game you are watching a thought process. "

Michael Lewis
" It's a patently unfair game that $40 million has to play against $120 million. It just violates all of our notions of fairness that money is one of the determining factors in the outcome of a sporting contest. "

Michael Lewis
" My judgement is not good when I am on a book tour. I am not thinking about it that much. What happens is I will go back home. I have a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old and a wife who is now taking care of them who is wondering where her husband is. "

Michael Lewis
" People who think they know what they are talking about when they talk about baseball include the announcers and all of the sports press - no matter how much evidence you present them to the contrary they will continue to think that what they think is right. "

Michael Lewis
" The A's are held to the standard of the Yankees in a funny kind of way. That if they don't win the World Series it is regarded as a failure. "

Michael Lewis
" The Oakland clubhouse is a wonderful place. A lot of these guys feel like rejects. They were rejects and they feel - they can tell you how baseball screwed up. "

Michael Lewis
" The Red Sox are a curious thing because so much here is media driven. You can't go fire half your scouts here because they are all friends with the local reporters. Your life is going to hell in the papers. "

Michael Lewis
" The Red Sox are the local scapegoats. It's hard enough to play baseball without being the local scapegoat too. "

Michael Lewis
" The sentimentality of baseball is very deeply rooted in the American baseball fan. It is the one sport that is transmitted from fathers to sons. "

Michael Lewis
" The sports world is an echo chamber. All it takes is one quote from a general manager and a thousand sports columns bloom. "
