Question

In what year did the manager and team depicted in the blockbuster film moneyball finally win their first playoff series?

Answer 1

2002

Moneyball is based on a book written by Micahel Lewis (published in 2003) about the Oakland Athetics (baseball) and their general manager Billy Beane. Using their approach to creating a competitive team on a small budget allowed them to win the playoffs in both 2002 and 2003.
