This week we review Moneyball, the new Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill baseball flick that has nothing to do with playing baseball. Oakland A’s Manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) gets a wild hair up his ass and decides to buy a winning team, based on statistics, rather than the old fashion way. We are lead to believe that the A’s are a bunch of no money losers (I hear this is true from one of my lame sports fan co-workers). No there aren’t any Jamaican bobsledders nor, ducks that gain might. This movie takes the behind the scenes no-holds-bar cash is king look at the sport. It really exposes that the muscle heads on the field were just genetically engineered to look good, and pose for their Wheaties packages. During the show we count down the top ten movies about baseball and Dan has a new appreciation for the sport.
