Can I point out how nice this thread is? Is that lame? I really enjoyed reading through all of these answers, and appreciate the respect.
Most have been pointed out already, but Moneyball got me at the end. I think I related to Beane taking on a system that had made him everything he was — and wasn’t. And choosing his daughter.
Also: Searching for Sugarman is an incredible documentary I can’t recommend enough. It will get you, but out of happiness really.
Thanks Letsrun, you did good.
