About Billy Beane

The General Manager of the Oakland Athletics who inspired the book Money Ball in 2003 and the critically acclaimed film Money Ball in 2011.

William Lamar Beane III is a former professional baseball player from America and currently serves as an office executive. He is the executive vice president of baseball operations and the minority owner of Oakland Athletics of Major League Baseball; he is also the minority owner of Barnsley FC in the EFL Championships in England and AZ Alkmaar in Eredivisie in the Netherlands. From 1984 to 1989, he played in MLB as a midfielder for the New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers and Oakland Athletics. He joined the sports office as a scout in 1990, was appointed general manager after the 1997 season and was promoted to executive vice president after the 2015 season.
