    1. Sports films that start from the management are rare, and the discussion of the sports industry in this film is the highlight 2. Behind the cold humor is the crusade against reality. As one of the four major professional sports leagues in the United States, the Major League Baseball is the only one There is no salary cap. The difference in record caused by the difference in team salary has long been one of the biggest controversies in the American sports world. 3. Poor Cleveland, forget James, even a fat nerd who studies economics and statistical mathematics. Can't help

Moneyball quotes

  • Billy Beane: Art, you got a minute?

    Art Howe: Yeah. Take a seat.

    Billy Beane: You can't start Peña at first tonight. You'll have to start Hatteberg.

    Art Howe: Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds, Billy. The lineup card is mine, and that's all.

    Billy Beane: That lineup card is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Peña at first.

    Art Howe: Well, I am starting him at first.

    Billy Beane: I don't think so. He plays for Detroit now.

    Art Howe: You *traded* Peña?

    Billy Beane: Yeah. And Menechino, Hiljus, Tam are all being sent down.

    Art Howe: You are outside your mind.

    Billy Beane: Yeah. Cuckoo.

    Jeremy Giambi: [knocking on door] You wanted to see me?

    Billy Beane: Yeah, Jeremy, grab a seat.

    [Jeremy sits down]

    Billy Beane: Jeremy, you've been traded to the Phillies. This is Ed Wade's number. He's a good guy, he's the GM. He's expecting your call. Buddy will help you with the plane flight. You're a good ballplayer, Jeremy, and we wish you the best.

    [Jeremy sighs and exits]

    Billy Beane: Jeremy's gone, too.

    Art Howe: [shaking his head in disbelief] You're killing this team.

  • Billy Beane: It's hard not to be romantic about baseball. This kind of thing, it's fun for the fans. It sells tickets and hot dogs. Doesn't mean anything.

    Peter Brand: Billy, we just won twenty games in a row.

    Billy Beane: And what's the point?

    Peter Brand: We just got the record.

    Billy Beane: Man, I've been doing this for... listen, man. I've been in this game a long time. I'm not in it for a record, I'll tell you that. I'm not in it for a ring. That's when people get hurt. If we don't win the last game of the Series, they'll dismiss us.

    Peter Brand: Billy...

    Billy Beane: I know these guys. I know the way they think, and they will erase us. And everything we've done here, none of it'll matter. Any other team wins the World Series, good for them. They're drinking champagne, they get a ring. But if we win, on our budget, with this team... we'll have changed the game. And that's what I want. I want it to mean something.
