Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane must be smiling today as the San Francisco Chronicle is reporting that a project is “being developed” for Pitt to play him in a movie based on “Moneyball,” a book depicting Beane’s method of running the A’s in the 2002 season.

Humorously, Beane commented on similarities between Pitt and himself:

“I think it has really come down to the common denominator that we both have twins,” said Beane, whose wife, Tara, gave birth to a boy and girl in January.

The rights to the best-selling book were purchased by Columbia Pictures in 2004. Oscar award-winning actor Robert Duvall is under consideration to play Art Howe, who was the A’s manager at that time.
