For a day at least, the East Bay felt just like Hollywood. Brad Pitt worked his way down the red carpet at the Paramount Theatre while the hundreds of fans who had gathered for the "Moneyball" premiere shouted, "Let's go, Oakland!"--just as they do at A's games. "It's very cool," Pitt said, looking around at the scene. "This is a special screening for us. The people of Oakland gave us such a great response. They stayed up with us for hours on end to tape the baseball scenes (for the movie) and never lost energy." Fans lined up for hours Monday as they waited for the stars of the movie that opens Friday. Based on the best-selling book by Michael Lewis, "Moneyball" tells the story of how GM Billy Beane bucked baseball's conventions on his way to turning the small-payroll A's into a powerhouse in the early 2000s.
