I don’t really follow baseball; I'm from Britain, after all. I attempted to get interested when British television started showing games, but it never quite clicked with me. My only input into any discussion about the sport is that I root for the Cleveland Indians because of the movie *Major League*, which still makes me laugh out loud. I was drawn in by *Moneyball*’s description, promising a sports triumph built on an unlikely combination of mathematics (something I really dislike), cleverness, and a group of players considered outsiders. As it turns out, after seeing *Moneyball*, it has become one of my favorite movies. As expected, when looking into the actual events of the Oakland Athletics' 2002 season, which is the basis for the story, I discovered some truths were exaggerated, certain characters were altered, and details were left out to create a more compelling narrative. However, the central point remains: it’s about building a team with very limited financial resources. This makes their twenty-game winning streak an impressive accomplishment. The mathematical ideas in the film are easily understood through the relationship between General Manager Billy Beane (Brad Pitt) and his economics advisor Peter Brand (Jonah Hill). The inner workings of baseball management are made clear thanks to a fantastic script written by Steven Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin. And ultimately, the combination of on-field play, family dynamics, and team construction works together seamlessly. It's an incredibly moving film that’s also intellectually stimulating; *Moneyball* is definitely one that non-baseball fans can enjoy and perhaps even appreciate for bringing something fresh to sports movies. 9/10
