The movie shows how the team pretty much changed how baseball players were drafted and all the money and politics involved. Its got some awesome acting by brad pitt, phillip seymour hoffman and jonah hill and I think it got some oscar noms, too. <br /><br />Seeing jonah hill's character develop from a softspoken guy to a negotiator all by finding confidence in himself and those around him was a movie in itself. Very inspiring!B.B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919901931700065661.post-17022472464516841012012-10-24T14:50:41.846-07:002012-10-24T14:50:41.846-07:00I played baseball for 8 years starting at T-ball a...I played baseball for 8 years starting at T-ball and I LOVED it.

Many people say it is the most boring sport in the world, but I beg to differ. I love what baseball season represents {to me at least} great weather, great times.... I mean, what is better than baseball + beer + time with my cuteness?? Not much really!<br />On another note, the A's have always been one of my fave teams, but you know I have to root for my Rangers!! <br />My favorite teams are out of the race now, but still watching to see who will win the World Series!!Citlallihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07901313947538653666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919901931700065661.post-85705294596097124542012-10-15T09:06:19.857-07:002012-10-15T09:06:19.857-07:00David and I listened to ALDS game 2 on the radio w...David and I listened to ALDS game 2 on the radio while laying in bed because they weren't playing on tv and I loved it (minus the loss). I'm really happy to see that another blogger loves baseball (and more specifically, the A's) and hope we can go to a game together next season! My heart is seriously swollen with pride but melting with sadness now that the season is over. Still proud of them, though. I'm just gonna go do the Bernie or something to relive the season xoxoCelestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16465594925706889050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3919901931700065661.post-80686841317121041892012-10-15T07:47:48.594-07:002012-10-15T07:47:48.594-07:00I don't really know anything about baseball as...I don't really know anything about baseball as we don't have it in Sweden or the UK...
