Unfortunately I had to quit the article about halfway through. It being a transcript of a radio broadcast made it pretty hard to follow, at least for me, but what I read was pretty fascinating, especially the part about the baseball player.

Does anyone know if there's a version of this that is formatted as a article?

Link to their podcast -- more enjoyable than reading a transcript.

No... but you can probably find it in audio-form on the freakanomics podcast, if that would go down easier.
