Meet the guy who's playing A-Rod in the Moneyball movie

While the rest of us dozed off during the seemingly interminable watch for A-Rod's 600th, Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post caught up with the actor who's scheduled to play Alex Rodriguez(notes) in the upcoming "Moneyball" movie. I didn't realize there was a part for the New York Yankees star in the movie, but the Oakland Athletics actually opened the 2002 season against the Texas Rangers and A-Rod, of course, was the starting shortstop. His 0-for-4 performance that day will be recreated by Dustin Truesdell, a San Francisco Giants fan who says he's still waiting to hear back from Rodriguez's agent on a possible brain-picking session. (In looking to see what else he's been in, it appears that Truesdell doesn't have an imdb page yet. He is, however, on MySpace.) For a movie that wants us to believe that Jonah Hill is an accurate representation of Paul De Podesta and Royce Clayton looks like Miguel Tejada(notes), I think they did a pretty good job...
