Trivia:
Jodie Foster was cast at one point as Amanda, but dropped out in order to play Iris in Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976). moreGoofs:
Continuity: Right before Buttermaker bunts, Englebert's hat and mask are on his head but in the next shot the hat is gone. moreQuotes:
[hitting batting practice]Coach Morris Buttermaker: [yells to infield] All right, look alive! Let's get one out there!
[to Engleberg]
Coach Morris Buttermaker: Are you ready?
[Buttermaker bunts in front of the plate]
Coach Morris Buttermaker: Engleberg?
Engelberg: [exasperated] What?
Coach Morris Buttermaker: That is a bunt - B-U-N-T. The catcher is supposed to pick up the bunt and throw it to first base.
Coach Morris Buttermaker: Well, how was I supposed to know? You made such a big deal yelling out to them.
Coach Morris Buttermaker: [sighs] Diversionary tactic, Engleberg. Now get the ball...

Hilarious film with a darker side that sometimes pokes through, especially in its serious moments. This is classic Walter Matthau, and classic Jackie Earle Haley, too! (Love that air hockey scene!) It reminds me of my childhood, and not many movies do. I can watch this film a dozen times and never get tired of it.
