Moneyball is a truly inspirational biographical film released in 2011 about the Oakland Athletics baseball team’s 2002 season, where the forward-thinking General Manager Billy Beane (played by Brad Pitt) attempts to create a competitive team on a limited budget. The top teams have significantly bigger budgets to scout the best players and the board of directors are portrayed in the film as set in their ways, so Billy Beane and his team are up against it! According to Wikipedia.com, ‘during a scouting visit to the Cleveland Indians, Beane meets Peter Brand, a young Yale economics graduate. Peter has radical ideas about how to assess player value …. using sabermetrics, selecting players based on their on-base percentage’. The film refers to a radio interview where the Moneyball concept is described as an approach inspired by a book written by Bill James. Available to watch on Netflix, YouTube, Google Play and Amazon Prime.
