This episodes beer is Fenway Froth from New City Brewery in Easthampton, MA. A single malt and single hop (S.M.a.S.H) IPA. A crisp beer that’s tasty but not overpowering. The combination of Golden Promise malt and Ekuanot hops deliver a relaxed session IPA that’s easy to sip all day long. Perfect for those long afternoons at the game.

And of course today's movie is Moneyball (2011). In this film Brad Pitt delivers a nuanced but complex performance as Billy Beane, General manager of the Oakland A’s, one of the poorest teams in baseball. With the assistance of Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) they put together an island of misfit players based on sabermetrics, bucking the rules and advice of traditional baseball.

Moneyball delivers a heartfelt, romantic take on the traditional baseball story, creating characters that you can’t help but root for and making you cheer along with the fans in the stands.
