It is not just another baseball movie. Moneyball centers its attention on to how Billy Beane, the manager of Major League Baseball's Oakland Atheltics, uses Sabermetrics, a method by which empirical evidence is analyzed in order to draft the right players for the team.

It is through this method by which the Sydney Swans were able to reach the finals in 13 out of the last 16 seasons. In 2004, Richard Colless, who is the chairman of the Sydney Swans, took advice from the book Moneyball, written by Michael Lewis, and adapted the successful ways to the football team.

It is through the process laid out in Moneyball where famous names in the history have been discovered such as Lynden Dunn, ted Richards, Craig Bolton, Marty Mattner, Rhyce Shaw, Shane Mumford, Josh Kennedy, Ben McGlynn, and Darren Jolly. Ever since coach Paul Roos employed what he read in Moneyball, everything fell into place for the Sydney Swans.

Moneyball is based on the story of a baseball team and how science trumped intuition in order to carry on with the perfecting the group of players of the sport.

Brad Pitt is a great choice to play Billy Beane who is the manager of the baseball team who is very smart and puts his smart ways into making his team the most competitive among the others. Beane partners with Peter Brand, played by Jonah Hill, who may never have played baseball but has some great ideas on how to take on the game in a new and revolutionary way, moving away from tradition each and every time.

Moneyball centers on the ideas that revolve around building the team and making them one of the best in the country. Aaron Sorkin, one of the writers of the past movie 'The Social Network', is the proponent of an idea-run plot rather than an action-based movie.

The movie is worth watching because the characters are portrayed in the movie in such a manner that they are not just the hardcore and passionate baseball players that they are but their characters also share tenderness and a very emotional aspect to it.
