He certainly played a huge role in bringing increased rationality to analysis and decision-making in baseball. But he was a part of a long history of (almost universally marginalized) efforts to do so. “The Numbers Game” by Alan Schwarz is a great chronicle of some of Beane’s (and Bill James’) intellectual predecessors. Highly recommended if you haven’t read it.
