Oakland made the A's cool, gave them that East Bay flava feel me. A billionaire who grew up a Giants fan who doesn't have a connection to this area shouldn't be allowed to relocate this team especially without a concrete plan. The city of Oakland and entire area of the East Bay deserves to keep either the team, the brand and colors under new ownership or an expansion to make this right.

Had the pleasure of meeting David on multiple occasions at a large pet store I used to work at in San Diego. The first time I met him I said, “hey, you’re David Justice!” He said yes I am and we talked about baseball for a few mins. He was always incredibly nice and humble when I interacted with him and I was a nobody. Super nice guy and very respectful!

[@5IvanDrago5]

In 2004 maybe 2005 I used to go to a Golds gym on the east side of Cincinnati and I worked third shift so that morning 10-11 slot the gym was usually empty. Justice would show up and like you said he was the coolest guy. I never asked or broached a conversation with him other then the usual gym talk, but he was always cool. Met Johnny Bench in that same gym, Johnny at that time had no legs left it was weird seeing the greatest catcher ever have no legs, also super friendly. Met Reggie Sanders at a Balleys gym on the west side, that man was a beast in the gym.

[@adamcandler368]

When I was a child, I loved baseball. My favorite team was the Atlanta Braves, and my favorite player was David Justice. My parents took my siblings and I down to Atlanta for the 1996 Summer Olympics. We attended two Olympic baseball games at Fulton County Stadium. (Baseball used to be an Olympic sport.) While at the game, I bought a deck of Atlanta Braves cards. After leaving the game, my family and I came across David Justice, who was with some of his friends. The rest of the Braves were on, like, a three-week-long road trip because their home stadium had been taken over by the Olympics. The only reason David Justice was still in town was because he was injured. My parents asked him if I could have his autograph. I took out my baseball card of his that I had just bought. He signed it, and, while giving it back to me, said, "There you go, my man." It was a dream come true. At that moment, I came to believe that everything you want in life will eventually turn out the way you dream it to be. I was 10 years old then; I am 38 years old now. And I now understand that life is not always that poetic. But David Justice created a memory for me that I still remember to this day. He didn't have to make any time for me. This man was once married to Halle Berry, for God's sake. Yet he gave me his time anyway. David Justice is a good person. (Not telling this story because I have any problem whatsoever with the movie "Moneyball." Just wanted to share the experience.)

[@blackirish670]

I remember going to those olympic baseball games. I remember leaving super early for the first game. USA beat i think either South Korea or Nicaragua. I was like 12. The Braves went to Turner field the next year. I remember going to both for Braves games forever. After they won the series in 95 some of the players were at a meet and greet event here in Augusta. Each member of my family got in a different line. Ive still got Chipper, Smoltz and Fred Mcgriffs autographed world series balls from that day. Justice was obviously on that team but he wasnt there or i wouldve gotten in his line over Mcgriff.

I was an extra in the movie Moneyball. The actor who played David Justice couldn't throw left-handed. It was hilarious. In that key scene during the 20th game streak where the Royals are coming back, and Justice had to dig out a ball hit into the left field corner and throw it in, the actor threw it into the ground on multiple takes like Mariah Carey throwing out a first pitch. The extras like myself were laughing every time he tried to throw left handed, and eventually production gave up and had another actor swap jerseys and throw the ball in for him left-handed. It was a funny moment.

The worst part about moneyball is that using Sabermetrics wasn’t even Billy Beane’s idea. It was the previous GMs Sandy Alderson’s idea and the had been doing it in Oakland since 1995.

I was about to say the same thing. Hoffman was a great actor but the portrayal of Howe as the anti-Billy Beane was ridiculous. They might have disagreed on certain elements like the human factor as opposed to a pure, numbers game but they both respected each other. Howe kind of moved on from the movie but at the time, he was not very happy about it.

Plus what Beane was going for began in the mid or late 1990s when he became the GM for the A's and was taught by Alderson in regards to that beforehand, not something he decided to come up with after they choked in 2001. The movie likes to pretend that Jason Giambi wasn't among the "Moneyball" players as well as ignoring that they had among the top pitching staff during the time.

Remember the Titans... all of these are WONDERFUL films, but all had so many liberties taken with the real stories that they are essentially fiction in a real setting with only 10% of the original story in tact.

I'm so happy I came across this and heard Justice's first-hand rebuttal to Moneyball's cocky portrayal of him.

I never found him. At least I'm sure now that he hadn't snuck down into the clubhouse to try to shake a free soda out of the vending machine. 😉

[@jamesalexander3837]

I’ve said it a million times since Money Ball was released… it was absolutely bullsht! I mean they just conveniently left out the fact that the A’s had MLB’s best pitching staff (Zitto, Mulder & Hudson), 1 of MLB’s best bullpens, an MLB MVP in his prime @ SS, a top 7 or 8 3rd baseman, a All Star in RF (J.Dye), Dave Justice in LF, pretty A’s 2nd baseman led MLB in steals that yr plus he won a gold glove etc etc but the movie makes it seem as if the entire roster was full of scrubs that no other team wanted… absolute bullsht! That particular A’s roster was absolutely stacked compared to the avg MLB roster!

Certainly tracks... the book can spend hundreds of pages delving into the details that a reader (even one who doesn't know baseball very well) can engage with and get the full picture, but the movie only has two hours to basically tell a story of a man versus a system along with a small market team and the challenge of winning. A lot of how the various characters were modified was designed to speed up the multi-year process into a single year timeline. The DJ "character" was probably necessary to understand how players outside the new system were adapted in. Still - great to hear Justice here talk about his actual relationship with Beane.

Well if what people are saying is true, there isn't that much of a story. We all know the pitching was amazing and they had an All Star shortstop along with solid hitters like Justice.

Moneyball, the movie, barely references that the A's had Barry Zito, Tim Hudson and Mark Mulder leading their pitching staff. Miguel Tejada was MVP. Eric Chavez drove in 109 runs. Yeah sure, the decision to put Scott Hatteburg at first base made them a 103-win team. Pretty much a work of fiction.

I’m going to interview an athlete discussing a portrayal of his likeness in a movie and not watch the movie prior to the interview. Was Key waiting for the book release or something? 😂 🤣

Is He Still Married To Halle Barry???

[@CharlesFristians]

never seen someone call another person by their first name as often as david justice does with keyshawn

[@timkinley1779]

I've not heard people not do it.

[@slotstoner2487]

it's called respect

[@DM-eo6zw]

David’s comment about the Oakland A’s playing in a 10,000 seat stadium in Sacramento for 3-years misses the fact that less than 5,000 people currently show-up at the A’s games in Oakland in a stadium that holds up to 56,000. That is pathetic. They’re very likely to fill their Sacramento stadium (in the States Capitol) on a regular basis once they get out of Oakland where they’re vastly under appreciated AND have to compete with the San Francisco Giants and their beautiful stadium. The A’s (a storied franchise) are in need of a city and a fan base that will welcome them with open arms, and they’re likely going to find that in Sacramento and in Las Vegas.

[@kennethgriffin7921]

this is totally something the David justice from the movie would do and say. of course he would deny everything

[@farvasstache6532]

Lol, the way the A's attendance is, they'd be lucky to fill a 10k seat stadium.

[@patrickvenning5174]

David Justice lowkey sounds like Sharp if he ever talked calmly lol

[@aznnp77]

David Justice was also married to Halle Berry, who is a lot to deal with in a relationship. That's why she's been divorced 3 times.

I'm not shocked that Hollywood did that. Sully, for example, wasn't remotely correct in the way the NTSB was portrayed treating him. It's all for drama, tension, and artistic license.

[@Oleoay]

Moneyball doesn’t even portray moneyball the book correctly.

[@JK-vc7ie]

It’s a movie

[@Oleoay]

@@JK-vc7ie it’s a movie based on a book…

[@JK-vc7ie]

@@Oleoay Many movies are based on books. Movies are astronomically expensive to make. Hollywood is in the entertainment business. They are not scholars and academics. That's not the objective. The objective is to sell tickets. They do what they deem necessary to sell tickets, which usually means creating extra drama. I'll add another example. Art Howe, the manager, was depicted as being a jacka$$. I think the consensus of players and people in the league is that he's a good dude. But it doesn't matter. It's a movie. Joe Biden pretends to have a functioning bran but that's a lie told every day told by the actual news. Truth is hard to find on earth.

[@Oleoay]

@@JK-vc7ie I've written about baseball for ESPN. I'm quite familiar with Moneyball and the people/players involved/in it. Also, I know movies are expensive and made for entertainment, I'm not a newb. I agree they portrayed Howe and Justice quite poorly. Still, none of any of this has to do with Joe Biden. All I said was that the movie isn't much like the book and even the book itself omits quite a few things. I recommend "The Only Rule Is It Has To Work" as a more modernized discussion of these concepts in baseball.

[@JK-vc7ie]

@@Oleoay Joe Biden is relevant in the context of what I was saying, basically that truth is hard to find if you are watching a TV or a movie screen. More specifically, Joe Biden says he has a functioning brain. CNN reports this but it's obviously not true. And this is from a "news organization" pretending to be accurate and true. Not an entertainment company which makes no such claims.

[@tomcooper6108]

David has always been a wonderful guy to meet. Met him in an airport, very nice. Took time to sign sum kids shirts and magazines. Sorry the film got him all wrong.

[@kenstable1433]

I didn’t get that impression of him from the movie. It was more shock at the level of the team impoverishment than anything 😂

Great player. Great interview.

[@johnharris6655]

There are more things wrong with this movie than there are right. People forget that the A's Made the playoffs again in 2002 only to get bounced out by the Red Sox, but that was because Miguel Tejada and Eric Byrnes forgot how to run the bases and Ken Macha pinch hit for Jermaine Dye with a back up catcher with the bases loaded and no one out in the bottom of the 9th and down by a run.
