Trivia
While canvassing an Asian-urban-pedestrian-friendly area of town in their search for a suspect, Colby (Dylan Bruno) and David (Alimi Ballard) talk about a sci-fi film directed by Ridley Scott and co-starring Darryl Hanah, and wonder if their surroundings might prove that the film correctly predicted the future. The film they're referring to is Blade Runner (1982); Scott is also a co-executive-producer of "Numb3rs".

Goofs
When Oswald Kittner is being initially questioned about his baseball statistics work, he says he never showed it to anyone to maintain his advantage at Fantasy Baseball yet the FBI was only led to him by comparing his work to some posted online at a Fantasy Baseball website.

Fun Baseball Connection

A baseball player, trying one last time to make it back to the big leagues, dies from a gigantic dose of a steroid. The source of this is the key to the investigation. This was made when some of baseball's biggest stars were juicing. It now seems a little unlikely. There are some nice little subplots, especially a fantasy baseball kid who Charlie take a liking to (in a mathematical sense). Entertaining.
