Moneyball, the mathematical madness behind the regular season success in early 2000’s by the Major League Baseball team, Oakland Athletics. The film is based on Michael Lewis's 2003 nonfiction book of the same name, an account of the Oakland Athletics baseball team's 2002 season and their general manager Billy Beane's attempts to assemble a competitive team.
In the film, Beane (Brad Pitt) and assistant GM Peter Brand (Jonah Hill), faced with the franchise's limited budget for players, build a team of undervalued talent by taking a sophisticated sabermetric approach to scouting and analyzing players. This little fact of info is really here nor there, but Billy Bene went to my high school, Mount Carmel High, back in the day in San Diego, California. While me and billy may have the same alma mater, that doesn’t mean I won’t do my job of breaking down the facts from fiction in Hollywood’s portrayal of this story and if his scouting methods actually changed the game of baseball.

Hello, and welcome to Sports Vaults, presented by D.A.T.A. Productions. Uncovering the Untold, Lost and Forgotten Files of the Sports World.

In the movie, Billy Beane, is hurt by the team's loss to the New York Yankees in the 2001 American League Division Series. With the impending departure of star players Johnny Damon, Jason Giambi, and Jason Isringhausen to free agency, Beane needs to assemble a competitive team for 2002 with Oakland's limited budget.
During a scouting visit to the Cleveland Indians, Beane meets Peter Brand, a young Yale economics graduate with radical ideas about how to assess player value.

Rather than relying on the Oakland scouts' experience and intuition, Brand uses sabermetrics, selecting players based on their on-base percentage. Brand and Beane use this methodology to hire undervalued players such as unorthodox submarine pitcher Chad Bradford, aging outfielder David Justice, and injured catcher Scott Hatteberg.
The scouts are hostile toward the strategy, and Beane fires head scout Grady Fuson after he accuses Beane of destroying the team. Beane also faces opposition from Art Howe, the Athletics' manager. With tensions already high between them due to a contract dispute, Howe disregards Beane's and Brand's strategy and plays a more traditional lineup that he prefers.

Thanks to a walk-off home run by his guy Hatteberg, the Athletics achieved a record-breaking 20th consecutive win. Beane tells Brand he will not be satisfied until they have changed baseball by winning the World Series using their system.
The Athletics eventually clinch the 2002 American League West title, but lose to the Minnesota Twins in the 2002 American League Division Series. Beane is contacted by the owner of the Boston Red Sox, John W. Henry, who realizes that sabermetrics is the future of baseball. Beane declines an offer to become the Red Sox general manager, despite the $12.5 million salary, which would have made him the highest-paid general manager in professional sports history. He returns to Oakland, and two years later the Red Sox win the 2004 World Series using the model the Athletics pioneered

Lets now separate the truths from the lies in the movie!

True: Beane did hire a former Cleveland Indians employee who had graduated cum laude with an economics degree from Harvard. In reality, he was Paul DePodesta, a self-assured former college athlete.

False: In the movie, DePodesta is re-imagined (for legal reasons) as Peter Brand, played by Jonah Hill as a jittery misfit with an economics degree from Yale. DePodesta joined the A’s in 1999; Brand starts in 2002.
