The 2002 Oakland Athletics draft class was unexpectedly propelled into the national spotlight because of Michael Lewis book Moneyball. It was, in essence, Billy Beane trying to figure out how to get better results from the very imperfect science of drafting and not stick to the same old stigmas that dogged baseball scouting for years.
Tabitha Soren, the former MTV News reporter probably most famous for her Rock the Vote involvement, also happens to be married to Michael Lewis and is a remarkable photographer. She decided to chronicle the lives of that 2002 draft class for the past 13 years and is putting those photos on display at an art gallery in Los Angeles this coming Saturday.
