I watched Money Ball last night and I loved it.
My respect for Beane and his brainy Assistant GM.
It is rare that I envy anyone, but there are points of genius in the things these guys did that are amazing.
The conversations were so similar to what you and I, s, discussed in the early 80's while reading the Baseball encyclopedia and Bill James books.
I wish someone would have been around to see some of the formulas you devised in late 70's and 80's comparing players. S, You will enjoy this movie.

Interesting. I didn't plan to watch it. It is so rare that I enjoy a sports movie because of how much they play with the facts. How do you get around the fact that they were carried by several high-paid traditional numbers players like Hudson, Mulder, Zito, Tejada, and Giambi? I might go check it out. Jody will at least enjoy seeing Mr. Pitt.
