Whether or not you agree with the concept is one conversation, but many, including myself, thoroughly enjoyed the 2011 movie Moneyball. It taught us that Tyler Durden and the rebel guy from the Hunger Games movies (RIP) can set aside their differences and go on one of the most memorable runs in recent baseball history, thanks to a clutch home run by Andy Dwyer.
Moneyball came to mind because that was the last time I thought about the name Paul DePodesta before today. DePodesta’s likeness was one of the stars of the movie. His character, renamed Peter Brand, was played by Jonah Hill.
