Hatteberg's Homerun Victory Moment | Moneyball (Brad Pitt, Jonah Hill)

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.

I love the way Billy looks up at the sound of the hit, like he can hear exactly how good it was.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hoffman, Pratt, Pitt, Hill. Everyone brought their A game(no pun intended) to this movie. Can't recommend it enough

Hoffmann nailed that shocked reaction. A split second on screen and painted a whole picture.

“How can you not be romantic about baseball” best quote I ever hear..

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.

Miss Philip Seymour Hoffman. Even in smaller roles like this he was great.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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.
