A scene from Moneyball 2011

Sports announcer

[Cuts to Oakland Coliseum where the Athletics are playing against the Minesotta Twins]

The A's going to the play-offs with the West Division title. Forgive the A's if they're not celebrating. They have been here before... when Oakland went up two games to none on the Yanks in the ALDS... and went nowhere after losing three straight. With a win today over the Twins, Oakland moves into the ALCS... for the first time since 1992.
