Really enjoying the chapter on Hatteberg ("Hattie", portrayed by Chris Pratt in the movie), catcher turned first baseman for Oakland A's.
Hatteberg's more thoughtful approach to hitting wasn't understood by the Red Sox, but was appreciated by Billy Beane and the rest of Oakland A moneyball crew. Funny quote from Hatteberg on hitting coaches:
... This is why poor hitters make the best hitting coaches. They don't try to make you hit like them, because they sucked.
