This movie Moneyball (the Art of Winning an Unfair Game) is about Billy Beane and the A's and shows the inner game of baseball . . . the back room, management, etc. It's slow but very intertaining especially if you are interested in the world of sports . . . I'd say an 8.5 out of 10 and Brad Pitt was super along with Phillip Seymour Hoffman who plays the A's manager! Actually received a standing ovation at the end of the show on Sunday.

I'm going to check it out. Enjoyed the book.

Not sure about the strategy since Sox and Yanks still seem to win by spending money (not this year though )

In the end I think money can make any statistic look good!

Except for the 20 game winning streak, not so well. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winning_streak_(sports)
