In 2014, Sports Illustrated writer Ben Reiter predicted that the Houston Astros would win the 2017 World Series by placing them on the cover for SI. Three years later, the prediction came true and now, Reiter has written a book called Astroball: The New Way to Win It All.
Astroball sounds like a name of a toy that might’ve been used on the Jetsons if you asked me. But in all fairness, I didn’t think much when I first saw this book. Actually, when I first saw the title of this book I thought it was just going to be Moneyball 2.
