Here's a great link: Chinmusic magazine brings Oakland A's GM Billy Beane and Ramones member Joey Ramone together for a chat. Beane is a huge punk fan, and Ramone is a baseball fan (he has a collection of 5500 autographed pictures).

A couple of years ago when the Pistols did their reunion tour, I figured I had to go, right? So I went out, and there was a whole group of young guys. And then there were guys like me wearing, you know, middle-aged man clothes, who had actually bought the first 8-track! Anyway, on the last song, a young guy behind me decides the best thing to do was to push the guy in front of him. So I'm sitting there with my brother and his friend and coming this close to getting into a fistfight at a concert. I was the assistant GM at the time, so my brother grabs me and goes, "You're the assistant GM with the A's, you don't need to be getting into fights at punk rock concerts!"

No questions about Moneyball, though.
