Delving into the real life stories behind Moneyball and whether the movie grades out as truth or fiction.

A couple corrections I caught after making the video. First, Chad Bradford did join the team in 2001 and not 2002, so, similar to Giambi, that's another player the movie mischaracterized as a "new addition." However, the book did focus on him some and why the A's acquired him, so not completely out of place.
Secondly. I did overlook that the book does describe Beane as a more involved GM in the clubhouse, but I'll still say the movie way overstates that.
