Billy Beane

I don't know if anyone cares, but I read something about Beane that was pretty interesting. As y'all know, he loves to draft college players. But, Beane, himself, was a first round draft pick in 1980 out of high school. I thought that was pretty ironic. Anyway, just though I'd share that.

The book, Moneyball, begins with the whole story. Much of what he does is based on his own failed experiences.

I need to read "Moneyball." It sounds like it's pretty interesting, but I've never really found time to read it.

Clujer, that's one of the funniest damn things I've seen on someone's sig. I actually laughed out loud when I read it, and I don't normally laugh when I just read something.

Haha, thanks. I saw it at an apartment complex on the community bulletin board this morning, and thought it was really funny. Glad you enjoyed it. :headbang
