Movie director Steven Soderbergh visits LVBA...

Academy award winning Movie director Steven Soderbergh and some of his crew showed up at LVBA this morning to shoot scenes for the 2011 movie "Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game", based on the book written about Oakland A's GM Billy Beane...

Oakland A's scout (and LVBA Owner/Instructor) Jeff Bittiger was filmed using an "interview format" for about 45 minutes inside LVBA...Of that 45-minute question and answer session, about 1-to-3 minutes of that interview will actually show up in the movie, which will star Brad Pitt, who will play the lead role of Billy Beane...

Soderbergh and his people got right back into their private plane at Lehigh Valley International Airport and flew back to Los Angeles...
