I thought it was a very good story and introduced new ways to look at baseball statistics. I just don't really see how this strategy of evaluating players 'changed' baseball. I think it more 'changed' the way people determine how good a player is aside from the 5 tools, changed fantasy baseball, and gave stat enthusiasts more to discuss, however, money still dominates baseball which is why I am assuming the title is 'Moneyball'. Even new ideas can not overcome money and this movie proved that point - so in my mind baseball really wasn't changed. With that being said, it was a very good movie and I enjoyed it a lot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
