Former New York Mets manager Buck Showalter is not the biggest fan of "Moneyball."

Showalter discussed the movie during a recent appearance on OutKick's "Don’t @ Me With Dan Dakich."

"‘Moneyball’ was proven to be a farce. People in the game know it was just a Hollywood thing; no one talks about the four starting pitchers they had. It was, you know, they embellished a lot of things to make it work, but most people in the game know it was complete fiction," Showalter said.
