I’m not a baseball fan, the game just isn’t for me. I wetchad Moneyball as part of a 3-film special that a local theater hosted, and Moneyball was the least anticipated film for me. Lo and behold, it turned out to be *easily* the best of the three. Though I’m still not much of a baseball fan, the movie got me really interested in the story and the game itself.
