What I will argue about is that one of the characters in this fucking book, right, who's one of the sort of like underdog geniuses that like Michael Lewis loves to find, right, is this guy named Paul Podesta.

They were originally called the Athletics. I don't know what they're called now. They've always been the... Well, everyone just calls them the Oakland A's.
