BASEBALL/POP CULTURE: Out Of Money Ball
Irony alert: Brad Pitt's film version of Moneyball appears to have been cut from the roster, presumably to save money.
I think this was among the least-promising film projects I've ever heard of, although I was looking forward to the on-screen recreation of Beane gloating about drafting Nick Swisher, and scoffing at the teams that drafted Prince Fielder and Scott Kazmir.
