Cultural references

  • The episode title is a pun on the title of the non-fiction book Moneyball by Michael Lewis.
    • In addition, the plot parodies the rigorously statistics-oriented approach to managing a baseball team, as documented in Moneyball.
  • The announcer refers to the Greek myth of Kronos the Titan, who ate his children when they were born.
  • The opening sequence in which Bart writes all over the classroom walls is similar to the famous scene in the Stanley Kubrick film, The Shining.
  • The bedtime story that Marge Simpson was reading to Bart Simpson (a moment that was ultimately spoiled due to Marge getting into a narrative shouting match with Homer through the adjoining air vent), The Berrystained Bears Stick Together, is a parody of the Berenstein Bears series of children's books.
  • The web page that Bill James appeared on looked a lot like Wikipedia with a globe logo and sidebar.

Continuity

Goofs

  • Bart says they have been at the amusement park seven hours, yet the Isotot's baseball game is still in the middle of play after all that time, with enough time for them to get to the stadium from the amusement park and still let Bart bat.
  • When Lisa meets Frink, his glasses are thick and white. However, in the next scene, Frink's glasses are thin and black
