Billy Beane, for those that don't follow baseball, is the GM of the Oakland A's. He was one of the earliest adopters of advanced statistical analysis in baseball and started a bit of a revolution in roster building by applying Wall Street market analysis concepts to the baseball talent market. A very popular book was written about his methods and his successful results, called "Moneyball." This is an article, written by Beane with John Kerry and Newt Gingrich, about how evidence-based analysis, a big part of current advanced statistical analysis movement in baseball, should be a "must" in the health care industry. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/opinion/24beane.html?_r=2&ref=opinion&oref=slogin&oref=slogin
