    Today, we're going to discuss one of the worst decisions of my life.

    MoneyBall Movie Myth: The Real Story Behind The '02 Oakland Athletics

    Today, we're going to talk about the most insane, over exaggeration of a sports story-turned-Hollywood-blockbuster of all-time - Moneyball. The year is 2011, and Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill, debuts in movie theaters across the country. It's based on the 2002 Oakland Athletics and GM Billy Beane, who introduced analytics into the clubhouse. What happened in the film - and what actually happened on the field - couldn't be further apart.    Have any guests you want to see on the show? Have any questions for me?
