Revealing: When the boys' rival team challenges them, all the boys throw their gloves down, except Yeah-Yeah. When they all go to pick them back up, Yeah-Yeah has to pretend to pick it up.

Trivia
Benny and his real life brother Pablo played the same character at different ages. See more...
Continuity: When the treehouse is about to explode, we see Beltram say he's getting out of there and go down the ladder. Then after some scenes we see him running out of the tree house when he was supposedly already down on the ground.
Factual error: In his voiceover narration, Smalls says that Babe Ruth's "called shot" was made at Yankee Stadium in the bottom of the ninth inning in game 3 of the 1932 World Series. That play actually occurred in the top of the fifth inning at Wrigley Field. It's not just a character mistake; the event is too famous for him not to have heard or read about it growing up, especially since his stepfather is a Yankees fan.
Continuity: When the fence is about to fall on the dog, it changes camera angles. In each camera angle the fence falls in different directions. Plus when it starts falling, the dog turns around facing the fence, but when it falls on him, he is facing the other way.
Factual error: In Mr. Mertle's house, an Atlanta Braves pennant is visible on the wall. It is established that the film takes place in 1962, but the Braves didn't move to Atlanta until 1966.
Continuity: After Squints kisses Wendy and the boys leave the pool area, Ham asks Squints if he planned it, and he looks back at Wendy. When the shot changes, some of the boys change position. For instance, Timmy is standing before the shot change, but sitting immediately afterward.
Continuity: In the shot that Smalls exits the pool, he is not wearing his glasses. In the next shot of his face, he is wearing his glasses.
Continuity: At the end when Benny gets the ball and runs from the beast he hops the fence. The ball is in his right hand as he jumps. When the gang helps him up, he doesn't have the baseball in his right hand. As he's running through town the ball is back in his right hand.
Revealing: When the kids are at the pool and Squints has just jumped in the deep end, the other kids go crazy and then you can see water on the camera.
Continuity: When Benny steals home at the end of the movie. When the team celebrates you can clearly see Benny break away from his team mates and point up to the press box. But a few scenes later they show Benny doing it again in a close up.
