I'm wondering how they handle the fact that Oakland never won anything?

Here's another movie idea:

"LA Clippers - The Story Behind Sharing an Arena with a Champion"

Looking foward to seeing it. Read the book a few years ago which is good but it only said stuff Bill James had wrote about much earlier. If anything, the last several years has shown Moneyball Billy is better at developing pitchers then hitters. I can't think of one other then Nick Swisher who has become a productive hitter to some extent.

Seems like Pitt is a natural for this role, I do want to see it. The Rotten Tomatoes rating is really high.

Viewed the movie last Friday. Seemed to be somewhat slow moving but was definitely a decent movie. Azbob the fact they never won it all does come up in a big way. To me Billy Beanes interaction with his assistant and daugther make the movie. Enjoy!
