That right there can be confirmed with the statement given by Joe Jackson that said “ Well, Attell was supposed to give the $100,000.”(10) Although the quote confirms the players were supposed to receive money I feel it shines light on something else also. Players back in the those days of baseball were not paid based on their performance.
Example 2
. In the quote from The Trading Desk Beane gives insight in how he thinks about the game “he faces a wall covered entirely by a white board and, on it, the names of the several hundred players controlled by the Oakland A's.”(p.6) This quote really shows how Billy Beane really focused on the players not just the numbers in the game.
