Moneyball Movie Looking for AN's Help

by Tyler Bleszinski on Jun 2, 2009 9:01 PM PDT

Have you always been interested in being in the movies? Would you love to be a part of the Billy Beane Moneyball movie? Well, I was recently contacted by the props department and they are looking for a copy of the 2002 Opening Day Program. So while you won't be a star, your program from opening day in 2002 would be.

If you have a copy of this, comment below and I will have them contact you via email, if that's OK with you. Just think, you could be the key to finally finishing the Moneyball movie.

Clayton Tanner. I have nothing witty to add.

Can you play 3B?

This has nothing to do with the movie, by the way. Can you play 3B?

I’d probably be a worse third baseman than Rajai Davis.

I can play Jermey Bonderdman

So when they draft me, Beane can pick up a chair and throw it across the draft room.

If everyone says no, will they not make the movie?

I cannot seem to figure out...

Why fans of the A’s would not want this movie made. Considering the A’s attendance issues among other things, this kind of publicity is invaluable for a small market team.

But I might steal the show from Brad Pitt....

What did i tell you...didn't I say they would win? Yeah that's right I did didn't ? Wait.. what? They LOST?!?!?

I'll be an extra! I can wear my Mulder tshirt.

I have tickets from several games in 2002 (including a couple from late in The Streak), but no Opening Day program, sadly.

by whiteshoes40 on Jun 2, 2009 9:42 PM PDT reply actions

Can you please clarify what you mean by Opening Day program? do you mean Game Notes?

That woild helpful in my archive search.

No I think the Athletics Magazine they sell

Doesn’t that officially count as the opening day program?

I think it may be the one with Chavy on the front

I have one.

I'm more interested in the sequel about the 2009 team

tentative title

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

How about, "Drag Rajai to Hell"

a ground rule double followed by three unproductive outs, sounds like my sex life - dayzd toe

I know someone who works for the company that publishes the magazine

I will check to see if he can get back issues unless someone beats me too it.

Moneyball

doesn’t win championships… unless you keep your players. I like that we’ve started picking up veterans. Don’t get me wrong, I’m liking our starting rotation. So, with that said, I hope we can keep these boys around when their price tag goes up.

Yeah, where would we be without OrCa and Springer right now

Where would we be without them?

Not only would things be the same if not worse, there would also be no hope. As far as Springer goes, I don’t know much about him…. But, your going to have a hard time convincing me Orlando sucks. The point is they took the chance and as they take chances they will get better at them. But, it’s a start.

You forgot to mention

Kennedy, Giambi, Holliday… At least they have the experience and the resume to go with it. Unless you just want to keep rolling with fresh young talent and never want to win again. The A’s just fucked up and traded all their talent away and thought it would keep pouring in. When in reality, they could’ve have won a few championships by now. Now, they are having to pick up veterans to make up for all the inexperience on the team.

Optimistic...

I was going to go into a diatribe about how Moneyball isn't about just selling good players

and rather about finding bargains, but then I realized that I’m too humane to do that to a horse that’s already done so much for us.

is if Banjo Man is in the movie.

by DDroney on Jun 3, 2009 10:15 PM PDT reply actions

I'm sorry

but, the A’s won a World Series by the time I was 15. Now, my son is 15 and he likes football instead of baseball because of moneyball. I have nothing to offer him with the A’s thus far. Now that they have started picking up known talent, they will start winning. If not this year, shortly thereafter. They need to start keeping players when they get good instead of trading them, because they are poor, and they won’t have to go outside the organization for help; especially if they want a new stadium. What the A’s are doing now is exciting and there is hope. Can they afford the A’s is the question? The A’s have been around, winning championships, since the early 1900’s. They have nearly destroyed this organization as bad as when it was in Kansas City. The A’s have been in my family for generations. They’ve always pinched pennies. But, not to the point where no one was left the next year, like the A’s now. And the owners want a new stadium. Hmm… Well, I hope they are waking up to the fact that they have to put a winning team on the field, first. And, if they leave to go play moneyball somewhere else, shit won’t change there, either. Fans want their players and they want to win. The latest shot in the arm by Holliday should verify that for them. He wants to win. They are going to have to do what it takes to win to keep anyone on this team. So, that’s my take on moneyball.

Optimistic...
