My "Moneyball" money ball, so far. Last night had a long conversation with Chad Kreuter, former Tiger catcher. He is working as the technical director and playing Rick Peterson. What a great guy and shared some awesome Mickey Mantle stories. More to come on that. And the other autograph is Royce Clayton, who is portraying Miggy. It is great being an actor because all the ex-players are really really nice to me!

Hoping soon to add Pitt, Hoffman and Hill to this ball!
I am off today, but have about 5-6 more days on set.
AN: We is all growed up now.
Oh God, Chad Kreuter
I remember seeing him HR off of Stew at the Coliseum in his major-league debut.
Box score for that game. Bleh.

An off-day to be sure for that juggernaut of a team.
And you have a great memory, Nick.
But come on people. 14,000 fans for a team running away with the West?
I'm here to talk about the past.
Kreuter! USC Manager!
And Royce Clayton as Miggy?! Really?!
Royce as Miggy
I was surprised by this decision as well.
