Project Name: Money Ball

Starting a new movie called MONEY BALL - from a book of the same title. This takes place 2001 with the Oakland A's. We are looking for "real" or actual Baseball Players - PLEASE NOTE LEAGUE AND EXPERIENCE. Trying to match real players for the movie. Workdays vary - but working June and July. We will be having tryouts for this film on Friday in LA area. Please post with experience - right or left handed, height and weight. MUST BE ACTUAL BASEBALL PLAYERS NOT PEOPLE THAT LOOK LIKE BASEBALL PLAYERS! College and higher ability. you can send additional photos to moneyballcasting@gmail.com


 

Good Luck!

How in the world are they making this into a movie?

Okay, just so I understand it... in your wildest fantasy, you are in hell. And you are co-running a bed and breakfast with the devil.

How are they gonna "SHOW" OPS and OBP? This is a stupid idea.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

Can Héctor Villanueva play Jermey Brown

I just read the book this year and I felt like I was reading a Michael Moore Documentary. At some points in the book they just went to far trying to jam stuff down your throat, at other points it was nice to see what was behind the curtain. Following the draft was the most exciting part and to read all those names that were talked about in the draft was exhilarating. I also glad the Cubs are not run that way!!!!
