When Bill is pitching his first game with Longeuil, there is a shot of the catcher wearing hockey goalie equipment: pads and old face mask. When pitcher goes to the mound to talk with Bill, he's holding a modern baseball catcher's mask under his arm. When catcher goes back behind plate, he is again wearing hockey mask.

When Bill arrives at the ballpark for the Longueuil Senators (at approx. 37:15 right before the scene with the flags of Quebec & Canada), a blank French language scoreboard is shown with many incorrect baseball term translations.

The scoreboard shows the following incorrect terms; {real French meaning in English} (intended meaning in English) [correct French term to have been used]: MAISON {HOUSE} (HOME) [LOCAL] TOUR DE BATTE {BATTING ORDER] (INNING) [MANCHE] CLIENTS {GUESTS} (VISITORS) [VISITEURS] GRÈVE {LABOUR STRIKE} (STRIKE) [PRISE] DEHORS {OUTSIDE} (OUTS) (RETRAIT) They got BALLE right.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers who stop Bill Lee at the border checkpoint each have facial hair, including one with a full beard. In 1982, the year the movie was set, RCMP officers were not allowed to have full facial hair, just mustaches. The policy was amended in 2019.
