    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In the climactic scene with Ken Griffey Jr. getting thrown out due to the hidden ball trick, the play is legal, despite many viewers claiming it isn't. He began on the rubber holding the ball. When he feigns the throw, he first steps off the rubber which means he's allowed to fake a throw, or even just walk off the mound or prepare for his next pitch. Faking the throw therefore was not a balk. As time was not called by anybody, Griffey was also allowed to attempt a steal and be thrown out as he was.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the film when Billy's three teammates are on third base, the umpire calls everyone out and then is corrected by Billy. However, none of the runners were tagged by the defense so at that time, no one was out. The runner who was standing on the base could have run back to second base and the batter-runner could have run back to first base (touching second) on the way. In essence, all three runners could have been safe at the end of the play if they had returned to other bases.
    • Quotes

      Billy Heywood: If Joe can paint a house in three hours and Sam can paint the same house in five hours, how long will it take to paint it together?

      Mac: Now wait a minute, you never said this was a word problem.

    • Crazy credits
      After the end credits, there's a quick scene with one of the players looking at the chalkboard saying he still likes D.

    Very underrated. One of the best of the 90's baseball movies
    I remember that I didn't want to see this movie at the theater (or as a rental for that matter) because of the marketing of the movie and what I thought would be a dumb story. However, I was pleasantly surprised. For what it was worth, it was a pretty good movie. Yeah, the story-line was not believable and it was cheesy at times, but the basis behind the story was pretty solid, it had some pretty good lines, and it was pretty entertaining the whole way through. Word of warning, though - Don't let Randy Johnson scare you. That guy had to have fallen out of the ugly tree and hit every single branch on the way down, THEN bounced and hit every single branch on the way up. Plus he's called the 'Big Unit'; scary! 6.5 out of 10.
