Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Peter Brand is a composite character based on Paul DePodesta, who refused to have his name used because he hated how Jonah Hill portrayed him as nervous.
The 'moneyball' approach has since been adopted by every MLB team, making this a documentary about the end of its own underdog story.
