Billy Beane may be the general manager of Major League Baseball’s Oakland Athletics, but as my discussion with the former major leaguer shows, a large part of his sporting heart lies in the footballing world.

On this edition of the EPL Talk Podcast, Beane joins me to talk about his favorite club, Tottenham Hotspur, his path to football fandom, and the analogs between baseball and football – particularly as it concerns the current trends in football performance analysis.
