MESA, Ariz. — “Moneyball” was a big deal, first as a best-selling book, then as an award-winning movie, but the A’s 2002 draft class that was so prominently featured has scattered around the country, largely forgotten.
Tabitha Soren never stopped shadowing those players, however. And using, at times, a technique almost as old as the sport itself, the Berkeley photographer chronicled their journey in an unconventional baseball book, “Fantasy Life,” that provides an intimate and long-term glimpse into the lives of the famed draft class.
Soren, a former MTV newscaster who is married to “Moneyball” author Michael Lewis, followed players at their homes, on the field, at the pool, at their new workplaces.
