    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jon Moscot was a 14-year-old extra in the film. He was not credited, as his parents were concerned his college eligibility could be adversely impacted. Moscot has said that he gave up seven home runs to Rob Schneider during the filming.
    • Goofs
      When Mel and the construction crew are in the field discussing the plans for the new stadium, a fly lands directly on the camera lens (it's in the upper right-hand corner of the screen).
    • Quotes

      Richie: [after hitting the ball] I ticked it, it hit the bat!

      Charlie Catcher: You're ssstill out.

      Richie: You're ssstill fat!

    • Alternate versions
      Originally, the end credit sequence had a series of alternate takes, outtakes and deleted scenes. These were removed for the DVD release and were restored for its airings on the STARZ Network.
