One of the most persistently negative faceless voices attacking Beane's approach to team building in the film is performed by noted character actor Ron Canada. The character who gives a sharp rebuke to the A's after the climactic playoff loss, was intended to evoke the views of baseball traditionalist like Hall of Famer Joe Morgan. In fact Canada auditioned as a Morgan voice match. Director Bennett Miller worked with Canada, a hard core fan of the game over three recording sessions to portray the broadcast scoldings from the game's conservatives. Some of that dialog is the result of mock interviews of Canada's "character" by Miller in the recording studio. Though not credited, Canada is proud to have contributed something to what he calls "a sports film for grownups.".
