Slusser: Fans enjoying Coliseum ‘Moneyball’ shoot

Jason Windsor!!!???

While the A’s were battling with the Rangers and with the heat in Texas, fans at the Coliseum were enjoying Scott Hatteberg’s homer to extend Oakland’s winning streak to a record 20 games.

In 2002.

The “Moneyball” movie began filming the Hatteberg sequence on Wednesday night, according to A’s batboy Jordan Iserson, who is playing a batboy in the movie.

“It was a blast,” Iserson said by phone on Thursday. “Almost as good as the real thing.”

But actor Chris Pratt, playing Hatteberg, didn’t exactly have the same result in his at-bat that Hatteberg did when his pinch-hit homer beat the Royals 12-11 in the bottom of the ninth on Sept. 4, 2002. The A’s blew an 11-0 lead but managed to set the record for the longest American League winning streak, which still stands….

Former Giant Royce Clayton is playing Miguel Tejada, and onetime Oakland pitcher Jason Windsor is playing John Mabry, Iserson said. He said the former minor-leaguers playing Barry Zito and Tim Hudson look especially like the real thing.
