Trivia
To prepare for his role, Robert De Niro went to Florida to watch baseball teams in spring training, then traveled to Georgia and tape recorded conversations to study their accents. See more »Goofs
Continuity: During a game against the Orioles (right after the taunt "Get a job, Wiggin, get a job!"), an overhead shot shows no base-runners. Henry pitches, the batter hits the ball; then the next shot, from the hitter's point of view, shows a runner starting off from second base. See more »
