The Game in Moneyball!

For years there are several baseball themed movies that I could recall like A League of Their Own featuring Madonna and Charlie Sheen as Wild Thing in Major League which spawned two sequels. Moneyball on the other hand had a serious tone that propelled this film to the Academy Awards. It’s the second baseball film in 23 years following Kevin Costner’s Field of Dreams and was critically acclaimed.
