Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWesley Snipes originally wanted to play the role of Gil Renard (Robert De Niro).
- GoofsMany baseball scenes were clearly pieced together from different clips. Near the beginning, the Giants are at bat and the Braves are pitching, but the catcher is wearing a Colorado Rockies uniform. The Giants wear road uniforms at home numerous times. A few overhead shots show a football game at Candlestick Park. One scene shows fans in the seats at Candlestick Park, but the next shot is at Coors Field in Colorado.
- Quotes
[Bobby talks to Gil about how the fans of baseball are losers]
Bobby Rayburn: At least you're not one of those diehard, you know, baseball fans. You know, really.
Gil Renard: Why's that?
Bobby Rayburn: Because those guys are losers.
Gil Renard: Aren't the fans what it's all about?
Bobby Rayburn: [Bobby chuckles] Shit! Tell you somethin', man. The fans are like women. When you're hitting, they love you. When you're not, they'd just as soon spit on you as look at you.
Gil Renard: Why is that?
Bobby Rayburn: Because they don't understand that you're the same person when you're hitting or not. No. The only person you should play for is yourself.
