I love this movie so much. For many reasons. But, what forever sticks with me is, the Cardinals got Issringhauser and won their 10th title in 2006 Thank You Oakland 😃

When ‘Billy’ asked ‘Pete,’ “Would you have drafted me in the first round?’ he was testing his honesty. Having lived his own life, Billy knew he should not, in fact, been drafted in the first round. It’s, actually, a two prong approach. Billy wanted to know, using himself as a case study; A) Does your way of evaluating players have the ability to detect that, good as I was, can you determine that I was not first round material? AND do you, Pete, have enough personal integrity to tell me that to my face? If Pete’s method and personal integrity can pass those two tests, then Pete has just proven his value and confirmed Billy’s desire to ac acquire him to help solve ‘the problem’ that Billy feels only he, in his organization, has detected and needs to deal with. ‘Moneyball,’ as a strategy for an organization, has a couple of issues. It was effective for getting a club into the playoffs. It works if the sample size of your games is large, which, in baseball, it is. Baseball teams play something on the order of over 160 games in a season. So, use the process over an entire season and, mathematically, you should see success…… HUGE asterisk coming here….. SO LONG AS YOURE THE ONLY TEAM USING IT! Within THAT season, though, once the team makes the playoffs, series between teams are reduced to best of 5 games or best of 7 in the finals. Series that short are, generally, decided by the team with the best players and the moments that everyone remembers….. listen to baseball nerds talk about not games, not series but individual moments that everyone remembers: Babe Ruth ‘calling his shot,’ a single at-bat by a single player with a single result that changes or decides the whole series. You can’t count on a statistical approach, which assumes a large data set to accurately predict a single moment. Then there’s that HUGE asterisk: if you’re the only club using a different approach, then, like a military using surprise, you can achieve outsized results. Once other clubs understand what you’re doing, then the original problem resurfaces. You get to sign players other teams don’t value because you’re using a different valuation system….. Once other teams begin using the same valuation system you’re using and you go back to the brute fact of them having more money, what happens to your advantage then?

It works in the movie but Art Howe was actually all in on the Moneyball approach. He saw the problem the same way Billy did, ‘We’re not going to win doing the same thing everyone else does.”

Being historically minded, just wanted to drop that “When you detect your enemy making a mistake…… do NOT interrupt him” is a quote lifted from Napoleon Bonaparte.

‘…..murderer’s row…,’ You: “Did they make a movie about that?” Yep. ‘The Sandlot.’ Make SURE when you watch it you’ve got S’mores fixings….. and summer is the PERFECT time to watch it. The 1927 Yankees with Herman ‘Babe’ Ruth and Lou ‘the Iron Horse’ Gehrig, are usually reckoned as the benchmark for a great team. The heart of their batting order, given the number of home runs they hit was nicknamed ‘murderer’s row,’ a term borrowed from death row at prisons that utilized the death penalty. Death row was, literally, a row of cells of the worst of the worst. Murderer after murderer after murderer.

Oh and you’ll especially love ‘The Sandlot’ as it’s set in and heavily revolves around LA.

You MUST have S’mores fixings for ‘Sandlot.’ Homemade! Not that pre-made crapola. Graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallows and open flame. Pre-make them yourself and have them ready to go or make them at the appropriate time. You’ll know it when you see it and have plenty of time, so long as your ingredients are at hand! You may not believe me, but I have NO doubt the community here will confirm. Tell her, gang! S’mores and Wendy Peffercorn, can’t miss!!!!!

In ‘The Sandlot’ and no shortage of other places you’ll hear the famous story of ‘Babe’ Ruth ‘calling his shot.’ During Game 3 of the 1932 World Series on October 1, 1932, at Wrigley Field, Babe Ruth of the New York Yankees allegedly gestured toward center field before hitting a dramatic home run off Chicago Cubs pitcher Charlie Root to that spot, There were no cameras, however, present. To Yankees fans, the ‘Babe’ pointed straight to the spot where his famous hit cleared the fence and no one can convince them otherwise. Maybe that’s the way it happened. It’s also possible that, in the usual back and forth between hitter and catcher, ‘Babe’ just said something to the effect of ‘if he starts me off with a fastball, imma hit this WAY out there!’ and sort of vaguely gestured towards the outfield. Any potential eyewitness has long since shuffled off this mortal coil. The mystery, most likely, will never be solved.
