It needs to be solv ed. There is no one I’ve talked to that can say it is not a problem.” President Bush also mentioned the problem of steroids in baseball in last year’s State of the Union address.

Michael Lewis authored the book Moneyball, (Lewis, 2003) showcasing Beane. For his singular, unapologetic iconoclasm in the face of the game's long tradition, Lewis lionized him six years ago in "Moneyball," which became a must-read for both baseball and business aficionados. Beane became the lead evangelist of a new baseball orthodoxy that emphasizes greater statistical analysis in the scouting and development of players. The Moneyball way also diminishes the field manager's organizational influence while it increases the power and profile of the general manager position -- a job that was once largely invisible. In the 140-year history of Major League Baseball, the office of field manager has never held less power than it does now, in the wake of Moneyball.

In order to be successful, one must train his mental approach before, during and after the game. This much training of the mind is broken down into three main points of the research: the automatic brain, self-confidence and mental toughness.

Methods of obtaining the research were mainly done by involving myself into the game by experiencing the game on my own, understanding what many ball players go through at first hand.
The movie version has a lot of events and details that appeal to the viewers like the novel. In the movie version it has Jonas at 18 years to make it more believable for a kid to have a job. An event that the movie version left out was the 12’s playing the game of war. This was left out since the kids are 18 and they do not play games at 18.
