Oakland A’s GM Billy Beane has joined the board of directors of NetSuite Inc, a California-based software company looking to compete with the big boys of the computer world on a small budget.

“Billy’s outrageously successful approach in changing the game of baseball by using facts to supplement instinct is very similar to the transformation our customers undergo when they move their business to NetSuite,” said Evan Goldberg, chairman, co-founder and chief technology officer of NetSuite.

Not to be outdone, George Steinbrenner demanded his GM join a company that fit his own business style of wasting hordes of money on an inferior product.

Stay tuned for a press conference later this afternoon where Brian Cashman will announce his new role with Ford.
