Candaele brothers discuss 'Moneyball'

Kelly Candaele is a filmmaker and writer who blogs about movies. Casey Candaele played in the major leagues for nine years. Their late mother was "the Ted Williams of women's baseball." So the brothers, logically, gab here about the new film "Moneyball," starring Brad Pitt. First question:

KC: Let's get right to the crucial issues that my readers are most interested in Casey. Did you really take batting practice naked when you were with the Astros?

CC: Well, let me explain.

Casey works now for the Rangers and picks them to win the World Series.
