The Best Baseball Movie Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (9 September 2015)

Brad Pitt surprised me as Oakland A's General manager Billy Beane in this film about actual events. Jonah Hill does a superb job as Peter Brand, the Yale educated assistant manager. Phillip Seymour Hoffman is great as the head coach. Hoffman was a great loss as an actor. Billy Beane is a real person. This film is about a two hour love story about the game. This film is for baseball lovers too regardless of what team you're rooting for whether the Oakland Athletics, the New York Yankees, or the Boston Red Sox. The accolades were well deserved for Pitt and Hill. I am not much of a baseball fan to begin with or a sports fan at all but this film made me enjoy the game which can for hours and seven games with a rival. This film is not about money which has overtaken baseball but the love of the game. This film shows how a small underpaid team like the Oakland Athletics can be David to New York Yankees' Goliath.
