I hope that you didn't take my first post the wrong way and if you did, sorry about that. It wasn't meant to be that way.

I had read all about Billy Beane when I heard that the Red Sox were interested in signing him as the GM during the off season following the 2002 season. I even have his baseball card along with his card in my "Pursue the Pennant" game, which is of the 1986 season. I also the "Moneyball" book plus the DVD of the movie staring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane.
No, I got ya. The beginning of this is going to be as realistic and historically accurate as possible. I am bumping up Beane's timeline by a year for being assistant GM, but only to throw in another storyline that would impact the A's.
