Inspiration: Eight Men Out by Eliot Asinof http://amzn.to/22xPejF
Lessons.
1/ We get emotionally invested in the thing we do.
2/ Home field advantage helps; from sports to law to war.
3/ Dominos can fall in unexpected directions.
4/ In strengths are weaknesses and in weaknesses are strengths. The players were incredibly unorganized, and they earned less in bribes than promised. But, this proved to be their (legal) escape hatch.
5/ Extras help. Airplanes have extra space, companies have extra money, bodies have extra parts. The people who came out of the scandal best were the ones who had extra resources going in.
6/ Conditions matter. The macroeconomics conditions of World War I suppressed player’s salaries. The conditions of frustration during the initial discussion led to some players agreeing but having second thoughts.
