  • Moneyball' Bit Player Korach Likes Film
    A’s News Clips, Tuesday, October 11, 2011 'Moneyball' bit player Korach likes film ... and Howe Ron Kantowski, Las Vegas Review Ken Korach's voice can be heard for about 22 seconds in the hit baseball movie "Moneyball," now showing at a theater near you. That's probably not enough to warrant an Oscar nomination, given Anthony Quinn holds the record for shortest amount of time spent on screen as a Best Supporting Actor of eight minutes, as painter Paul Gaugin in 1956's "Lust for Life." But whereas Brad Pitt only stars in "Moneyball," longtime Las Vegas resident Korach lived the 2002 season as play-by- play broadcaster for the Oakland Athletics, who set an American League record by winning 20 consecutive games. And though Korach's 45-minute interview about that season wound up on the cutting-room floor -- apparently along with photographs of the real Art Howe, the former A's manager who was nowhere near as rotund (or cantankerous) as Philip Seymour Hoffman made him out to be in the movie -- Korach said director Bennett Miller and the Hollywood people got it right. Except, perhaps, for the part about Art Howe. "I wish they had done a more flattering portrayal of Art ... but it's Hollywood," Korach said of "Moneyball," based on author Michael Lewis' 2003 book of the same name. "They wanted to show conflict between Billy and Art." Billy is Billy Beane, who was general manager of the Athletics then and still is today. Beane is credited with adapting the so-called "Moneyball" approach -- finding value in players based on sabermetric statistical data and analysis, rather than traditional scouting values such as hitting home runs and stealing bases -- to building a ballclub.

  • Cubs Daily Clips
    October 23, 2016 ESPNChicago.com Holy cow! Cubs are going to the World Series By Bradford Doolittle CHICAGO -- Somewhere in a cramped booth at Wrigley Field, high above a playing surface erupting with unrestrained jubilation, veteran broadcaster Pat Hughes gave his listeners the news that few of them thought they’d ever hear: The Chicago Cubs are going to the World Series. The most dramatic result of the past seven decades of Cubs baseball unfolded in almost shockingly undramatic fashion. Dexter Fowler, Kris Bryant and Ben Zobrist drove in runs early. Willson Contreras homered in the fourth, Anthony Rizzo in the fifth. Starter Kyle Hendricks was brilliant into the eighth inning. Aroldis Chapman lit up the scoreboard with triple-digit velocity to finish it off. The Cubs beat the Dodgers 5-0 to win the National League Championship Series in six games. Just like that, the Cubs -- the Chicago Cubs -- are National League champions. The win was the latest and largest in a historic season for a Cubs franchise that has been operating since 1876. Seventy-one years removed from their last pennant, and 108 years since their last World Series crown, the Cubs won 103 games during the regular season, then survived the elite pitching of the Giants and Dodgers to emerge from the National League playoffs. Six times the Cubs had played a game to clinch an NLCS -- three times in 1984, three more in 2003. They held leads in five of those games, yet the pennant drought persisted year after year, disappointment after disappointment. The organization became better known for its venerable ballpark and its partylike atmosphere than actual baseball, all while bearing the unfortunate moniker “Lovable Losers.” They’re still lovable, but they are losers no more.
