Really interesting real life story, about how Billy Bean, manager of the Oakland As, gamed the whole player trading system, by fielding a team of players with peculiar reps, odd problems, and thus very low price tags, allowing him to win more points per dollar spent than any other team. Demonstrating that whatever you think sport is about, it's really all about spreadsheets and money. There's some implication that this was done to prove the system is rotten, and get some weird kind of revenge for his own disappointing professional career. Ultimately, though, it's a film that's a bit like The Damned United, but without the vitriol.
