Mickey was playing High School baseball in California which is played in The Spring. Clemente record was set Late September 1972. High School Baseball was not being played then.
When Mickey and Roger pull out of the driveway from their home in Los Angeles they are driving a 60's model Buick station wagon with a California license plate on the front of the car. When they come through the tunnel in Arizona they are driving a 60's model Oldsmobile station wagon without a front license plate.
Clemente's 2997th hit which took place in September of 1972 was actually a clip from the World Series of 1971 against the Baltimore Orioles.
Several times they mention the game he got his 3000th hit as the Pirates last game of the season. Not so, there were 3 more.
During the sports report where they mention Clemente's hit being taken away by an error, the scoreboard shows the 1 in the hits column change to a 0 and the 0 in the errors column change to a 1. Since the Pirates were the home team, it should have been the bottom row listing the Pirates' hits total, not the top. And the error is then awarded to the opposing team, which in this case is the top row.
Mickey gets pulled over for speeding at the beginning of the movie by a Pittsburgh City Police car. However, the officer that gets out of the car is wearing a Pennsylvania State Troopers badge and uniform.
They show a full moon in Birmingham, AL around Sep 28, 1972. The moon entered its last quarter on Sep 29 that year.
They show the brothers opening a pack of baseball cards. It is supposed to be 1972 but the cards are from 1967.
