In the parody of "The Babe Ruth Story," Babe Ruth (John Candy) is wearing a number 4 uniform, while the real Babe Ruth wore number 3 and his New York Yankees teammate, Lou Gehrig, wore number 4. (This "goof" may have been intentional, as "SCTV" was likely spoofing the numerous historical and factual inaccuracies that have been featured in countless filmic biographies over the years.)
