And I know this is going to sound a little elitest, but if the movie had been made, think about all of the baseball pseudo-intellectuals we would have all had to put up with. I mean, literally every guy that watched a baseball game once would think that he was a genius because he figured out what OBP is. Come draft time, dudes who didn’t even realize there was a MLB draft would have been ademantly asserting that drafting high school arms is too risky and teams should go all College.

I guess you could argue that imparting more knowledge on the rest of the world about a more modern form of baseball knowledge would be a good thing, but I just don’t want to have to deal with it. I’m perfectly content with the fact that some people know a lot of baseball, and some people don’t. So, if Sony keeps their head on, they’ll realize that Moneyball is a project to scrap for good.
