Moneyball

Rating 7 out of 10

This is a movie based on a true story.  Not way back in time true story.  This happened in 2002 and I remembered most of it.  Billy Beane was a can't miss five tool baseball prospect that missed.  When the baseball career ends he becomes the general manager of the Oakland Athletics.  They find life hard as a small market team with very little money for payroll playing against the ultra rich dreaded Yankees.

Billy decides to bypass normal baseball thinking and go with his computer guys new ideas on how to run the team.  Everyone thinks he is crazy.  Somehow he makes it work.

You don't have to be a baseball fan to enjoy this movie.  Amazingly enough I saw many females in the audience that did not appear to be baseball fans.  Maybe it was that pretty boy Brad Pitt.  He is in his pretty boy finest.  Combed his hair and shaved his grungy beard.  Even did a good acting job.

This is a fun movie that I enjoyed.
