Peter Brand: The Visalia Oaks and our 240 lb catcher Jeremy Brown, who as you know, scared to run to second base. This was in a game six weeks ago. This guy is going to start him off with a fastball. Jeremy’s going to take him to deep center. Here’s what’s really interesting, because Jeremy’s gonna do what he never does. He’s gonna go for it. He’s gonna around first and he’s gonna go for it. Okay?
[On the video, Jeremy trips and falls over first base]
Peter Brand: This is all Jeremy’s nightmares coming to life.
Billy Beane: Awwww, they’re laughing at him.
Peter Brand: And Jeremy’s about to find out why. Jeremy’s about to realize that the ball went 60 feet over the fence. He hit a home run and didn’t even realize it.
This film is based on the book written by Michael Lewis with the same title.
This is also why I started to have an Interest in Baseball because of this film.
The story is all about how money will do to you, and even though the team has a little budget on its entire roster, they manage to win more games than those teams that have bigger budgets. As Seth Godin writes, “Small is the New Big“
