Trivia

The warm-up jacket Drew Barrymore wears in the film became extremely popular among female Red Sox fans the week before its national release, and was sold out in stores all across New England. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: In the first scene when young Ben walks into Fenway Park, Jim Rice and Dennis Eckersley are clearly their 2004 selves, and look considerably different than they did in 1980. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Al: [voice over] Eighty-six years of bangin' our heads against the big green wall, but we finally did it. That part you know. That part everybody knows. But I got a story you don't know. It's about this schoolteacher friend of mine named Ben.
