One thing that very rarely gets the appreciation that it deserves is audio work. The random shifts in sounds, the cut outs, all showing perfectly a team off balance and slipping away from their achievement. Then the hit. Masterfully done.
Agreed. Like you said the audio just seems to fade in and out at the right time,
For me the Audio Make an equal impact than the Actors job is the way for us the viewers to get inside the movie as one 😎
I also love the way they seamlessly pieced together the actual footage with what they filmed.
For my money, the best directed scene in any sports movie ever. The tension, the use of slow motion, the back and forth shots to Pitt's character in the locker room, the incredible musical score, the use of footage from the real-life game....all so perfectly put together
May I suggest you watch WITHOUT LIMITS with Donald Sutherland and Billy Crudup. It's about American long distance runner, Pre.
I think part of the reason is the screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin. He wrote the scripts for the West Wing. Regardless of the politics, it's one of, if not, the best written TV shows out there.
The Longest Yard also had pretty great scenes. So did Hustle.
Rudy ending was better IMO
@@viksin1998 I was just gonna post this lol
I love the way Billy looks up at the sound of the hit, like he can hear exactly how good it was.
Home run swings often make a distinct sound.
Definitely one of the most satisfying sounds in sports.
TV even picks it up. I have also been at live games. A home run hit has a different sound. When you see batters look at their ball, pitchers grimace. You know. Everyone knows. That ball isn't staying in field. It is gone. The sound of pure bliss.
I was at this game. As soon as I heard the sound off the bat I turned around and started screaming. Everyone in the stadium knew it was crushed immediately. kzhead.info/sun/ZJGDeJSniKmMgIU/bejne.htmlsi=Mrl2RqlGLALgJrKh
Nothing like the sound of a wood bat. Especially the way it feels in your hands.
That moment of utter silence after the crack is pure gold. Honestly whoever did the audio editing for this moment deserved to walk away with a big fat cheque in their pocket
As a guy who was never good at baseball, never really liked baseball, and never really understood its appeal…this is one of my favorite sports movies ever. “How can you not be romantic about baseball” so good.
Same baseball is the only popular sport I never watch or played much up still found the movie outstanding.
Agree 100% same with the movie Miracle
You've got to watch "When we were kings"
Yeah. I like baseball but never played it. I'm not even american or cuban. But this movie shook me to the core.
Baseball is pretty weird, especially for non-Americans. Movies about this sport are a hundred times better than the sport itself.
Crazy thing is, this moment kind of goes against Billy and Pete's entire philosophy. They didn't sign Scott H. because he was known for slamming homers, they got him because he was cheap enough for their budget and his on-base percentage calculated well into their model. Scotty H. knocking it out of the park for a walk-off record-breaking home run was not the plan. It was a miracle moment, and it proves that despite the massive success of their sabermetric approach to building a team and earning wins by math and statistical analysis, sometimes it does boil down down to one individual getting the magic hit at the right moment.
I don't think that's entirely right. Even when someone only occasionally hits HRs, his rate of hitting HRs, low though it might be, still adds value. IOW though some stats are weighed more heavily than others, all a player's stats go into evaluating his value to a team.
"Record breaking" 🤣🤣
@@dank4522 the problem is that when it really matters, i.e. the postseason, those kinds of stats don't impact the game as the "heavy hitters" and big names really do. The movie even puts in some analysts saying that. The movie was about what you said - success in a 162 game season vs success of the team to win the last game of the season. Billy was trying to use a method to get BOTH, and ultimately when money is the limiting factor he realized that he couldn't get both, but he could get moments like these ones, and moments with his daughter.
@@Trojanfan666 he broke the consecutive wins record for the AL. Are you dumb?
@@davidhoekstra4620 that incremental addition of power does nothing for the postseason however. A huge part of this movie was about Billy trying to win the last game of the season, and that "no one cares if he doesn't".
I vividly remember sitting in the movie theater watching this film. It was during its first week. At 4:32 when Hatteberg hit that ball, in the silence following the crack of the bat, the entire audience in that theater let out one loud collective gasp. It was like sitting in the stands at an actual baseball game. I actually thought they were about to start cheering. To this day that is one of my favorite moviegoing moments. And it was such a feel-good moment.
Those are the moments I miss the most. People complain when the audience responds, reacts, or makes some external noise. Really they're just absorbed in the moment, and it makes me sad that people would get angry about that.
@@blade913 i think there's a difference there between people being nuisances and people getting genuinely excited about what they're seeing in the theater
Funny thing is, if you're a baseball fan you knew this happened.
@@Rockhound6165 We could all see it coming a mile away though...
Lol stop with your over dramatics. It was obvious
My dad took me to see this movie. We didn’t know it then but it was his last visit before his death at 93. This scene is precious.
Even though you were lucky to have your dad for so long, sorry for your loss. This sounds like a good memory to have.
How can you not be romantic about baseball? ❤️
Beautiful memory. SLAINTE
Crazy to think how Chris Pratt took off. Nothing big. First noticed as The friend Barry in Wanted. Then parks n rec. Moneyball. Delivery man. Then our Starlord we know and love. GoG 2014 and this mans career blew up. Great to see
@Patriotpuertorican yeah he killed a lot!😅😅😅
He was in a few TV series too before movies that were popular back in the day before those movies you said. He was in Everwood and The O.C.
Everwood was debut I think
That's usually how it goes for most of the biggest stars, minor roles then a breakthrough
I remember first seeing him 8n Everwood. He's had a great career
“How can you not be romantic about baseball” best quote I ever hear..
Hoffmann nailed that shocked reaction. A split second on screen and painted a whole picture.
They put Scotty in because of his OBP, utilizing Billy and Pete's philosophy. But him hitting a home run wasn't proof the philosophy worked for that specific situation. It just proved how baseball can be pure magic sometimes.
Probability catches up eventually.
They way I see it though, is that it did show that their system worked in the sense that certain players were simply "cast" in the wrong position and wasted talents in a way.
You're played for a reason. Some guys get on base, some guys can lay down a bunt, one guy just completely owns that particular pitcher. Everyone has their role to play, even in a specific situation. But at any given time, a player can have "that moment". Their bat's a little quicker. Their legs a little faster. Their reach an inch longer. It can just be that moment. It can last an inning or a round, a game, even a day. That moment they do incredible things they wouldn't normally be able to do. Their shine moment. Anyone who ever played any sport, plays for that moment. Where, for a brief bit of time in their life, they touch greatness.
@@AH-te5gs i agree. sadly he didn't see it. luck or not it changed the old system.
Technically hitting a homerun would contribute to OBP. This is why OBP is a good measuring stat because it includes a wide range of outcomes. That being said, you are right that he was the pinch hitter with a goal of getting to first base.
Hoffman, Pratt, Pitt, Hill. Everyone brought their A game(no pun intended) to this movie. Can't recommend it enough
The use of music in this movie to set tone and mood is incredible. When Hatte Squares to take the pitch that he knocks out of the park, the same piano riff that was used used during his signing in his house with his small family is heard. Then, after launching it, chords from The Mighty Rio Grande let you know that ball is gone.
i start this movies just because of actors, i don't know any about baseball. Plot, dialogs, dynamics was surprisingly good. But when i heard in this movie one of my favorites band it was wonderful
Miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Even in smaller roles like this he was great.
He was an absolute treasure
never miss the dopers...heroin long before fentynal...
@@guycmcd how sad are you to hop on youtube just to encourage people not to feel?
This is why we watch.... I have been a Yankees fan since I was about 7 years old. I am 60 years old today and I can tell you with complete certainty that if you love one team, it doesn't mean that you can't love what another team has done. This was one of the greatest moments in baseball history. And, even though it was accomplished by the A's, it still brought a tear of joy to my eyes. And yes, I was very happy for them. When you love baseball, you love it complete; good, bad and no matter what it brings. You'll hate the rival teams, but still smile when they accomplish something magnificent. This is the game we love...The game we will always love.
When you love baseball, you love it complete. I think it applies to everything we love. Your line makes me feel something in my heart. I'd like to send you gratitude from Korea.
@vaccinexo2974 Thank you, friend. And yes, you are correct! I grew up a hard-core Yankees fan. And even though we have a bitter rivalry, I am happy when they win. Somebody's gotta win! Thank you again, my friend.
What a perfect description. I'm the same age as you and a lifelong Yankee fan. One of my most prized possessions is an autographed photo of Bucky Dent hitting his infamous home run. But I remember watching this game and how I cheered for the A's at this moment. I love the game.
@@Mybpeterson Thank you for the kind words, my friend. That Bucky Dent photo is a great photo. I have it as well. That was of the greatest moments in baseball history! I'm sure you feel the same as me. This game has given me so much. I took my boys to Yankees stadium when they were growing up. I also took my father to a number of games before he passed away. I can't tell you who won the games on those occasions, but I can tell how much it meant to me personally. How can we not love a game that has given us so much?! Thank you again!
I’m an Angels fan. In 1986 (a year in which the Angels should have gone to the WS) I went to see an Orioles game at Anaheim Stadium. Eddie Murray came to the plate in the first and the entire stadium stood up and booed him because he was soo good. He promptly hit a home run. Next time up we all stood and booed him again and he promptly hit another home run. Third time up we all stood and booed…….same result was Eddie hitting a home run. He came to bat in the ninth inning and we all stood up as the score was 18-1 and we all stood up and cheered the man for such a great accomplishment! The whole stadium cheered Eddie Murray and he hit a triple that was one foot from going out. What a game I’ll never forget! Final score Orioles 19-Angels 1.
Thank you for posting the lead up scene to the HR !
The combination of actors in scenes with real footage of the games was amazing. It made you feel like you were watching the games live on tv. Such a great story!!
The filming of all this scene is just perfect. Everything is explained without a word, every feeling, every thought. I love when you see Hoffman turning his head, you get instantly that he completly believe in the strategy built by Billy and embrace it to put Hatty at the bat. Pure cinematography.
I like this version of the event the best of ALL on YT. This provides just enough backstory and context to explain the main event. In this version you get to experience what led up to the HR on both sides. Good job and great editing.
Put yourself in ‘Hatty’s’ position, put on the spot, not really expected to deliver, but from somewhere a tiny spark ignited to produce the absolutely the perfect result at absolutely the perfect time. That has to feel amazing!!
This may eventually go down as the greatest scene in sports movie history. All the things it took to get there, the buildup to what looks to be blowing their shot at history, the agony of what is at stake for what Billy as trying to do, and all the forces working against him an the team reach a critical mass that ends in one of the greatest releases of joy I can ever remember in movie history. This is BEAUTIFUL.
Probably the greatest sports book ever. Never ever EVER would have thought they could pull off a movie of this caliber based on it. A remarkable achievement.
"How can you not be romantic about baseball?"
I've always appreciated how every little detail has been studied. The arm crank Chris Pratt makes after rounding 1st, the clap he does after rounding 3rd, you can see Hatteberg doing that on the actual game footage.
Love it when he slips the jacket off. It's like Superman coming out of the phone booth. So many little touches in all of this make it worth revisiting again and again.
I'm a baseball fan not the biggest Brad Pitt fan but he is so good in this it has become my favorite movie. Such great lines and great performances. When I first saw it I really didn't think there was much of a resemblance to Art Howe but was such a great performance. I never get tired of watching the scenes with the agents. Maybe because real agents were used.
As an A's fan, when I saw this movie, I had no idea who Chris Pratt was. I actually thought they got Hatte to play himself because he looked so much like him and he did such a good job.
As a Sox fan, I thought the same thing. And I was genuinely thankful that he got to play on after his injury. The A’s are like the half sibling of the Sox. Second favorite team in baseball.
I am a football guy through and through, and I was never good at baseball growing up. But somehow, the baseball celebrations, Fisk, Gibson, and ones like this video really take grow men back to being a kid more than any other sport, in my opinion.
Hoffman's reaction of surprise at the end makes me miss the man. First saw him in Twister, and it went from there.
‘Food!’ My wife and I say this almost daily and I can see his character in Twister saying it.
How did this movie not win best picture..beats the hell out of me.
easy politics.....
@@craighanson-rc1md oh right..no gays who are black or asian who are transgender and blind and have one arm and decide to play baseball.
Beautiful editing.
I think the fascinating thing about this is because of the way the beane strategy works, they explicitly cannot focus much of the story on the players unlike basically every other sports doc, but they make it work
I was in a hotel room, changed channels and caught this movie about in the middle. Then I saw the part where Billy Beane is driving in his pickup truck and gets the phone call from his daughter. What was following was so exciting to watch, I had to look up the score to see what had happened (when they showed the date).
As a former baseball player I enjoyed this movie awesome reminded me of my senior year 1996-97 my baseball team won the state championship. I was power hitter but the guys in front of me their job was to get on base my coach said because I would drive them in. Even though I had an awesome season it’s a team game I love my teammate when we won we partied
Loved the movie as much as the book. Great writing and acting both.
They did such an amazing job recreating this moment
Thanks for making me want to rewatch this movie again.
Just re-watched yesterday for the who know how many times....so great!!
Hatte home run was beautiful ❤️!! It was his day! Thank you Hatte for that grand moment 🎉
I can watch this movie numerous times and it still stirs the emotions. One of the greats I can’t get enough of.
If there is a better sports scene ever put on film, I haven't seen it. This is an absolute masterpiece.
This was the last movie I saw in the theater with my father. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
Star Lord goes deep.
Still in my top 10 of movies. Played golf twice with Jeremy Giambi 4-5 years ago, not knowing who he was. After a few holes, I mentioned he swung like a baseball player, asking such, him replying on the tee, "I've never played baseball." His humor was so dry. Sad, he committed suicide a couple years ago.
beane got let go early in the mlb, he picks up a guy that thought he was done, gave him the second chance he always wanted and dude made history
2002 season was memorable for me. Angels getting first WS title. Luis Castillo's 35 game hitting streak Oakland As winning streak.
Never noticed until now…when Brad Pitt turns around to look at the tv, first he’s staring at it, then he starts to look up - a sign that the ball went high and far.
Such a brilliant movie and I love how they incorporated real life footage into the film as it was historic from one of the smallest teams to achieve that
I love how this scene completely denies moneyball concept. None ever thought that Hatteberg would bat a home run and yet it happened to save the streak. How can you not be romantic about baseball? What a great movie!
To this day, I still believe this is Brad’s best movie.
Hard to beat MEET JOE BLACK!
@@Mrlittlewally or Kalifornia. or Snatch.
@@MrlittlewallyI couldn't agree with you more. Meet Joe Black was a phenomenal performance and wonderful movie.
what an incredible moment and well directed love this
That score is the most emotionally powerful piece of music I have ever heard.
I ball my eyes out everytime at this scene. No pun intended.
Moments like this made it worth being an A's fan. I'm going to miss having baseball in Oakland. Lets-Go Oak-land / / ///
As a Mariners fan I think I'm gonna miss the A's being in Oakland too. Used to love to hate them. Won't be the same with them in Vegas.
I'm really glad they got a Chris Pratt-Type for Hattie
This movie really demonstrated to me how talented an actor Chris Pratt is. I had never heard of him before.
This scene alone is why I love this movie. It's why I love baseball movies. It's why I love sports movies in general. It's why I love the A's (as an Angels fan). It's why I love baseball.
The As my home team Oakland all those years Reggie,Bando, Fingers, Billy Ball and the Great La Russa teams soon will be a memory. They will vault to the bright lights of Vegas to join their old Oakland stadium partners the Raiders money got to them too! It always does!
“How can you not be romantic about baseball?”
Great movie, Pitt and Hill did a marvelous job as the characters in this movie. Even Hoffman was good as a crusty old manager.
1:01 That ball was golfed out of the park. I was there.
Still sends chills down my spine
This scene is a perfect example of how music can make an otherwise bland scene exciting and tense.
Puts a lump in my throat, every time.
Doing something with your dad priceless I miss doing everything with my mom and dad
The fact that Hattenburg was washed up as a pitcher and they saw something in him and he did that . His wife must have been so proud .
Sport movie making at its finest …
Its my favorite movie with Brad Pitt was the star.
Really is the go to
I'm from India and have no idea about baseball. Still watched it multiple times.
@@youtubemenace yeah l know what you mean it's a human story set in baseball.
@@steveclapper5424 💯💯
Volume is salvation
Always good to hear Bill King again.
U can hear it he cracks it a solid hit that's what home run sounds like
Great movie. I enjoyed it.
This movie is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Period.
It's cool to watch the side by side of the real homer and the movie version.
Billy went to the same high school I went to. Mt Carmel! Sundevils!!!
Koch is tired of getting slap assed ....He can't take it anymore. What a movie.
Hitters know that sound
Don't know Jack about baseball but I know a great movie when I see one.
That sound from Hatteberrgs bat, was the same sound I remember from Ken Griffeys baseball on n64 when we had to rent it from the local store and play all weekend before it was due back. If I fact checked the sound, I would probably be wrong, but it brought me back none the less.
Classic baseball. You just never know about the greatest game that has ever been played.
This movie make it look like the As came out of no where. Is not like the had one of the best rotations in MLB history thst season with Mark Mulder, Barry zitto and Tim Hudson. Also had miguel tejads erick chavez jermine dye. It was a great team
Too bad I never saw this in theaters, this scene is absolute cinema.
Although Billy thought he heard the home run swing, he really heard one of the pipes burst and the clubhouse was flooded with sewage.
Fantastic piece of cinema
So many wholesome moments in this movie... if you don't feel good after this one, nothing will.
There's a huge list of movies I like, a slightly smaller list of movies I love. Still, most of them have a flaw or two I am willing to ignore because the rest of the movie is simply great. This is one of the few I have absolutely nothing negative to say about.
My favourite sports movie of all time.
Every time I watch this, every time, bar none, I get goose pimples.
How can you not? That sound is the clearest sound in baseball.
Try to watch this without a smile on your face. You can’t do it!
One of the best baseball movies ever made!
damn, people in the future will be like "the A's used to be in Oakland?" rip
I miss Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Low key one of the greatest movies ever
My heart goes out to Oakland.
This was such a great movie.
Starlord olayed first base for the A's?
I think you won pretty big, Billy.
I effin love baseball.
This is the greatest baseball movie ever made! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Goosebumps right there.
I love the seemless integration with the actual play
