Anybody else see Moneyball? I watched it with Keelan & we both liked it.

They used a lot of real Baseball clips AND the Actors they used could actually swing a bat, throw a ball & run. Plus! The"old timers" that were opposed to the concept of Baseball based on "statistics" were really authentic...I think Jack & Dutch were 50 years ahead of their Time. Although Billy Bean & the Kid forbid (forbade?) Bunting (never give the other Team an Out!)  their idea was "we need people that can get on base" & then let The Cooker, Latrice & McVeigh drive them in...

  • Did you know that The A's won 20 games in-a-row that year?

Ergo, The Pea & The Kee give this Film Four Stars....4 ****

It is good Kee was watching with you. You then had an expert to explain the intricacies of the game to you. Lord knows your knowledge of Baseball is lacking.

I concur with the Pea&Kee...I loved the movie! But remember it was BigJack who invented the modern day "small ball"...and bunting helped us win the CityChamps in 1962...look it up!
