Goofs

Anachronisms: Peter Brand (Jonah Hill) wears an all-green Oakland A's cap with yellow logo and a black-colored under-bill. However the black-colored under-bill was not a feature for New Era caps until 2007, when they debuted 100% performance polyester caps with the black-colored under-bill to reduce glare. See more »
