Trivia:

When the show was canceled they were in pre-production on a 12th episode. Entitled 'Second Place' the synopsis was as follows: Conrad prepares to take second place in "most consecutive-games played" and is worried when his rebellious son Max arrives. He asks Pete to hang out with him and to try to keep Max out of trouble. John Patrick Amedori was cast as Max Dean.

Quotes:

Lou Russo: [about the players] Bunch of nancy boys, probably use the money for online shoe shopping.

if you liked Clubhouse, check out the book it was based on!!

CBS pulled the plug on Clubhouse way too early. A friend gave me the book that Clubhouse was based on. It's called "BAT BOY" by a guy named Matt McGough who was actually a bat boy for the Yankees. It just came out a few months ago, after the show got cancelled (kind of weird timing). As good as the show was, the book is even better.

A lot of the stories from Clubhouse seem like they came straight from the book -- the prank the players pulled on Pete his first day of work, and the potato cannon, and meeting girls at Yankee Stadium, and lots of other inside stories about the Yankees locker room and growing up in New York. Not much about his sister Betsy the JD, but that was actually my least favorite part of the show by far.

I even met Matt at a reading he did in New York last weekend. He didn't know if they're planning on releasing Clubhouse on DVD. But he did say that the book has a website, www.batboybook.com, and that he'd try to post any update.
