An inside look at three of baseball’s best pitchers through the course of the 2004 season The Oakland A’s the subject of last year’s bestselling Moneyball by Michael Lewis are home to three of baseball’s top pitchers. Written by a veteran Bay Area sportswriter with the complete cooperation of all three pitchers, Aces explores the art of pitching by taking readers inside the pitchers’ very different minds during critical games and revealing what really goes on in the dugout, at the clubhouse, and off the field. Mychael Urban (Livermore, CA) is a national writer for MLB.com, the official Web site of Major League Baseball, and has covered the A’s since 2001. He talks about baseball regularly on FOXSports TV, ESPN Radio, and MLB.com Radio.
