Baseball Doesn't Exist is like: "Scruffy Gruff McJackson is one of the most beloved players in baseball history. But in 1961, he played for two teams at the same time, on drugs, while the FBI was trying to kill him with a sniper in a helicopter that was circling the stadium during his outing. He also ate A-Rod's spleen, starred in a movie and sold over 55 varieties of holiday cards to the mafia 45 minutes before game time. And despite all of this, he still managed to win league MVP -- 13 seasons in a row."

One thing nobody talks about with the moneyball technique, it constantly leaves fans feeling depressed watching players they grow attached to unceremoniously traded away/not re-signed. As a Red Sox fan, I'm really starting to learn that.

MC hammer being an executive in the MLB is the most unexpected thing I’ve heard in years

I'm convinced Baseball Doesn't Exist could literally say anything, and I would believe him no questions asked. "Donaldson then went into the crowd, punched a woman, became Mormon, stole every fan's left shoe, and caused a tornado to appear over the entire state of Ohio, just because the ump called what appeared to be a ball, a strike." and I'd be like, "Dang, that's crazy."

The moneyball strategy works when everyone else isn't doing it. When every other team is using the same analytics then you're not getting undervalued players, you're just getting cheap players. It makes a big difference.

As a disenfranchised A's fan, for decades. It's really sad to admit all this is true. Ownership hates the city and fans but refuse to sell, the city is hesitant on helping with a stadium because of the relationship, and the fans are the ones all getting screwed.

20 plus years of As fan here, The movie Money Ball did not ruin the club, it's the current owner group that kills the As.

After literally almost a decade of hearing about it, I have never met another human being that plays Raid Shadow Legends. How do they afford all of these ads?

Would be a shame if they have to move considering how iconic of a brand they are in MLB. Regardless of how cheap they are it’s refreshing to have a team with an identity that stands out among all the others. Whether they can “get” funding for a new ballpark or they have to move to another city one thing is certain, there is no chance I’m playing Raid Shadow Legends.

Here after the Vegas news. I’m sorry for all A’s fans. You all deserve so much better than what Fisher has put them through.

The Pirates have been doing this for a long time now, but get away with it by having the best/nicest stadium in baseball and tons of special events like concerts, tshirt days, bobble heads, run the bases, etc.

A’s fan here. As compelling as the underdog story is, you need to remember that in order to be underdogs, you need to be worse than other teams. Constantly losing players you’re attached to, seeing firesales every 5 years, it makes it so hard to stay invested as a fan. Which leads to less fans, less tickets sold, less money, and the cycle begins anew. I’m 15 years old, and there have already been two firesales in recent memory. There’s never a player that’s been on the team since I was a little kid. You can be attached to the story, but the people never stay long.

Being an A’s fan is a special kind of chaos. This video makes the coliseum look like a complete dump, and yet it’s the most fun stadium I have ever been to, hands down. Unparalleled energy in that place, and not a bad seat in the house. From bleacher seats where someone in a luxury box passed me shots out the window, to second-row seats where I caught a foul, to firework games on the field, I’m sure gonna miss this place ❤

One very important thing you left out about the attendance is that the A's doubled their ticket prices, especially for season tickets and cut almost all the benefits of being a season ticket member. This is in addition to always giving away their best players for little to no return while always playing pauper to get their piece of revenue sharing from MLB. To be an Oakland A's and former Oakland Raiders and Oakland warriors fan is to know that the plot of the movie "Major League" is a real life scenario

I always thought the point of Moneyball was that a team with money could become even greater using the player-value strategies but a team run cheaply would never win it all no matter what.

6:40 - In hindsight it was very fitting that the A's cheapskate owner was played in the movie by Bobby Kotick, abusive cheapskate owner of Activision.

I have never seen a man who has won so little be celebrated so much like Billy Beane. Brad Pitt actually played him in a movie.

as an A's fan, this video really breaks my heart. but it is all too accurate
