Trivia:
Ring Lardner's play opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 24 September 1928 and closed in October 1928 after 40 performances. The opening night cast included Walter Huston as Elmer Kane. George M. Cohan produced the play. moreGoofs:
Factual errors: The onscreen credits read "based on a play by Ring Lardner and George M. Cohan," but the Internet Broadway Database (IBDb) lists Lardner as the writer of the play and Cohan as the producer. They get their credits from the original playbill. moreSoundtrack:

Nothing much to say. A lot like Adam Sandler's The Waterboy. To tell the truth, Sandler is the latter-day Brown. If you love Sandler, you'll like beown. I've a suspiscion his fans were kids and junior high school kids because his films play to that level of humor. You may call them family films. Movie is about a small-town boy who joins the Cubs and helps them win the penant. There are gangsters, bribes and bets that go awry. It has a very good and realistic baseball finale.
