A few weeks ago, my friends and I went to the movies to watch “Moneyball”. For those of you who have not seen it, the story plays out like this:
General Manager, Billy Beane, of crappy baseball team Oakland A’s leads his formerly bottom-of-league to victory…or so it seems. He does it all with the magic of computer-generated analysis of each individual players, to collect a world-series-worthy roster on a tight budget. He almost succeeds, but then the film get all tragic and the Oakland A’s lose their 20-game winning streak because of some voodoo jinx that happens when Beane goes to watch the game.
Tl;dr: Manager of baseball team takes previously crappy team and builds them into winners of World Series/Koushien, and at the cost of nothing. Sound familiar?
