Beside this, is Moneyball factual?
Hollywood is famous for stretching the truth and for never letting the facts get in the way of a good story. But it turns out that Moneyball is a fairly accurate account of what Billy Beane did for the Oakland Athletics in 2002 (though hardly as single-handedly as depicted).
Billy does not watch the games. The movie looks as though it portrays this aspect as Beane getting the play-by-play via text from the Peter Brand character. The truth is that Beane carried, ( maybe he still does), a little white box that gave him satellite feeds of MLB scores.
