Did you know
- TriviaJohn Candy, as the radio broadcaster, is uncredited. His role isn't mentioned in the movie credits because he wasn't originally cast in the movie.
- GoofsWhen Henry is called from the dugout for the first time, the "Rocket" is pitching and everyone seems to act like he had a horrible game. However, after the game, the announcer, says that Henry got the save with a 5-4 win. Henry gave up a Home Run, so the worst that the "Rocket" could have done was throw 7 innings giving up only 3 runs, which is pretty good by anyone's standards.
