"Moneyball" movie with Brad Pitt, wanted to see it at the theatre but it never came to Grenada that I knew of, supposed to be out on DVD this month, anyone seen it, any good? May pre-buy it as a birthday gift this week if it is a pretty good movie.

Yeah, worth seeing. Good but not great. If you're into baseball you'll like it even more. Read the book if you get a chance too. It's an easy read.

Worth seeing at the theater . Definitely worth the 1$ redbox fee.

Worth it, I went in thinkin it was gonna be a comedy but it is a serious bball movie.

Enjoyed it very much.

Great Movie.

Yep. Played here in the mid 80's. From wikipedia.

Several future Major-League players spent part of their minor-league careers as Jackson Mets. The 1984 championship squad included Billy Beane, who hit 20 home runs, and Lenny Dykstra, who stole 53 bases. The Mets pitching staff was anchored by Calvin Schiraldi, who went 14-3, and also featured Rick Aguilera, Roger McDowell, Jay Tibbs, and Floyd Youmans. The 1985 team that repeated as champs was led by Dave Magadan, Randy Milligan, Mark Carreon, and Barry Lyons, all of whom hit over .300. In addition, at various points the Mets fielded future major-leaguers Lee Mazzilli, Mike Scott, Jeff Reardon, Hubie Brooks, Darryl Strawberry, Kevin Mitchell, Terry Blocker, John Gibbons and Kevin Elster.
