Moneyball Full Movie Reaction!

Comments

Thomas Dill

So some fun facts: 1) Billy had actually been involved in deep moneyball research long before the 2002 season since 1990. He became a scout and learned under the previous GM, Sandy Alderson, moneyball’s unique perspective on finding undervalued players in both pro and college baseball. 2) Art Howe HATED his character because of the drama the producers put between him and Billy in the film. Actually, Art Howe was a respectfully fundamental manager who listened to Billy and took his vision onto the field. There was never a heavy disagreement in player management between Art and Billy. 3) The real name that Jonah Hill’s character, Peter Brand, is based on is a named Paul DePodesta who wanted his name out of the public spotlight for personal reasons. He went to Harvard, not Yale, and yes graduated with a degree in economics.
