They didn’t make the name up. It’s the name of the book that the screenplay was adapted from.

This pretty much is going to be a must-see for me. I like a good period piece. And how many movies about vintage baseball are there? Not too many. I have a bad feeling though by the looks of the trailer that they are going to give Berg the Hollywood makeover and get a ton of things wrong. Right off the bat I don't think Berg was much of a ladies man. After reading the book you get the impression that he radiated a certain weirdness but he was comfortably ensconced inside the bell curve in the trailer. Looks like they're wearing double-knits instead of baggy flannels too.

It's been noted that Moe spoke seven languages, but couldn't hit in any of them.

I'll have to see this. It's right up my alley. Great cast, too. I'm a big fan of Paul Giamatti.
