Factual error: When Billy Beane is listening to Game 5 of the 2001 ALDS on his portable radio, we should either be hearing the Athletics radio announcers or ESPN Radio's coverage. Instead, we keep hearing the voice of Thom Brennaman, who was calling the game on television for the Fox network.

Billy Beane: There are rich teams and there are poor teams, then there's fifty-feet of crap, and then there's us.
Trivia: Although it isn't shown in the film, Billy Beane managed, by using Paul DePodesto's sabermetric analysis, to get thirteen of the twenty players he wanted in the 2002 amateur draft. At the time, this was unprecedented; no GM before had ever finished the draft with more than six of their top choices, and most GMs are lucky to even get their top two or three choices.
