Takes Me Out Of The Ballgame

Brad Pitt (F1) attempts to win the World Series for the cash-strapped Oakland A’s by turning America’s favorite pastime into Moneyball. But will grumpy coach Philip Seymour Hoffman (Mission: Impossible III) let a loser first baseman like Chris Pratt (Guardians Of The Galaxy) step up to the plate instead of all-star Carlos Peña? And what makes nerdy Jonah Hill (Superbad) think he knows more than the seasoned baseball scouts about how the game should be played?  Hear the hosts take a swing at this 2011 Oscar contender when you’re a November Patron.
