Last night we watched Moneyball, starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. What an enjoyable movie! From imbd.com, it's. . ."The story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players."
I am not a baseball fan or, for that matter, a sports fan. From reviews, however, I knew Moneyball was not a typical baseball movie. If you like stories about nerds, or quiet observers, out-shining grossly over-paid, and often loud and obnoxious, athletes, you, too, will enjoy Moneyball.
SIDEBAR: Peter Brand's (Billy Beane's assistant in the movie) story made me even more eager to read Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain. It releases Tuesday, January 24, and there's already reviews on Amazon.com.
