      There's a video on CZcams somewhere that compares the real life events of the film with the movie. It's made by a diehard baseball fan. It's an interesting watch.
      This movie is great and hits a lot of notes I appreciate. It's most interesting to me that major league baseball has existed for over a 100 years before this type of team building became the norm.

    I guess the filmmakers decided that this movie needed a villain, or antagonist, at any rate, because, according to the book this film was based on, Art Howe, the A's manager, played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, was fully on board with Beane's approach. That being said, I have heard that Lewis revised the book to portray Howe that way after earlier editions were criticized for portraying Howe more as he is portrayed in the film.

      They weren’t. The whole point of the movie was that these players could get paid cheap. You can say “oh well they were still making 6 figures” sure. But getting taxed by every state you play in, plus federal tax, higher cost of living since they are in Cali, means they aren’t exactly living the great life of luxury you think.

    I'm a Tigers fan so am familiar with Pena and it's kinda funny...he was actually quite good at getting on base, even early in his career. He even had an OBP of over .400 one year which is pretty ridiculous.

    • @Rockhound6165
      @Rockhound6165 Před 9 měsíci

      His OBP was .305 at the time he was traded to Detroit, well below what Beane was looking for. He was also hitting .218 so Howe was playing him out of spite. His career OBP is .346. 2007-08 was the only time he was near what Beane wanted. So, no, he wasn't quite good at getting on base. Neither was Hatteberg when you look at his stats although he did have an OBP of .374 in 2002. But the funny thing is, when Pena was traded to Detroit he was in the minors so Howe couldn't have valued him that much.

    • @INTJerk
      @INTJerk Před 9 měsíci

      ​@@Rockhound6165 Thanks for chiming in, but it seems as though nothing is in need of correction. My statement was right on point.
      Here were his OBP numbers leading up to the 2002 season (as depicted in the film):
      1998 (Minors) - .393
      1999 (Minors) - .365
      2000 (Minors) - .400
      2001 (Minors) - .409
      2001 (TEX) - .361
      All of these are very good numbers.
      This exemplifies a player with the obvious skill-set of consistently getting on base. Although he had a poor .OBP partway through the 2002 season with the Athletics, this was an aberration based on a small sample size. In particular, I see that his month of May that year was absolutely dreadful, and a lot of that can be attributed to an unspeakable .154 BABIP - which is almost entirely a luck stat.
      If you want to look at the scope of his entire career, a .346 OBP is easily above average.
      Based on contemporary statistics, an .OBP of .346 is in the top 25-30 percentile for a given season. I would say "quite good" is about the most apt way to describe such a level of performance.

      It's perfectly rational to consider all the data available at a given time. The preponderance of the evidence indicated Pena had good on-base skills....which played out nicely during his major league career.

Athletes need to remember that without fans all of their talent is meaningless. If you bat 390 and field like a monster but nobody buys tickets you may as well drive a bus or become a limo driver. One of the things that puts asses in seats is winning.
