    Brad Pitt to Play Beane in Moneyball Film

    http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/10/18/SP1C13JU2M.DTL


    I'm not a huge Pitt fan but I'll be there opening night. I have the utmost respect for Billy Beane. Although the "Devil Wears Prada" director seems out of place lol. I read another rumor that Soderbergh was interested. That'd be cool.

          As a baseball fan I have to say this sounds like possibly the most boring idea for a movie ever.

              Yeah...I guess they could fictionalize disputes between the team and players, or do like the movie "21" where they made some stuff cooler than it actually was.

                      "I think it has really come down to the common denominator that we both have twins," said Beane, whose wife, Tara, gave birth to a boy and girl in January.

                          You're not your RBI total. You're not your batting average. You're not your stolen base total. You're not your World Series rings. You are not your clutch hits. We're all the singing, dancing Scott Hattebergs of the WOrld.

                              There was a minor league baseball player named Billy Beane that was gay.

                                                      This movie has horrible written all over it. I will be there on opening night though.
