My Reading Selection- Moneyball

My book's title is Moneyball and it was written by Michael Lewis. The book was published by W.W. Norton in 2004. The purpose of the book is to show how a low budget baseball team can compete with teams with a much higher payroll. The narrative hook is "The first thing they always did was run you." This makes you wonder and makes you want to read on, who is making you run and why. So far the book is very good. It is very interesting and entertaining.
chagrin- feeling humiliated
culled- selected from a large population
perpetual- never ending
whittle- cut
inextricable- impossible to separate
