    • Trivia
      The older and younger Benny are played by real-life brothers, Pablo Vitar and Mike Vitar.
    • Goofs
      At several points in the movie we see lights on at Mr. Mertle's house. However, Mr. Mertle is blind and lives alone, so having lights on would be useless to him. However, contrary to popular belief, most people who are legally blind still retain a small amount of residual vision, and they do tend to rely upon it in their everyday lives. Thus, Mr. Mertle having the lights on in his house to assist with what little vision he would have left is not an error.

      "The Babe": Remember kid, there's heroes and there's legends. Heroes get remembered but legends never die, follow your heart kid, and you'll never go wrong.

    • Crazy credits
      The opening 20th Century Fox logo plays in complete silence.
    • Alternate versions
      Some network television prints vomit a scene involving a local carnival and the kids' first time using chewing tobacco.

    How can you not love this movie?
    One of the best "kid" movies that I have ever seen. A story about friendship and baseball, and the people in our lives. Great one to watch with your friends to reminisce about the old days. Look for a great cameo by James Earl Jones. Recommended for those of us who had great friends growing up, and never wanted the good times to end.
