Corrected entry: Benny steals home at the end of the movie. When the team celebrates you can 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.

Correction: It wasn't a few scenes later, it was two shots later. The first shot in this instance is The Jet giving a thumbs up while the camera is focused on the whole team and The Jet is out to the right. The shot cuts to Smalls in the commentator booth smiling. Then back to The Jet who is still holding the same thumbs up, which is then reciprocated by Smalls.

Corrected entry: When Squints and Yeah-Yeah are staring at Wendy outside of the convenience store, she walks by in slow motion with her hair straight. But in the next shot, when she is walking at normal speed, her hair is perfectly curled.

Correction: Actually, it's curled the whole time, it only appears straight because in the slow motion it's behind her shoulders, but you can still see that some of the ends are curled. During the close up of Squints and Yeah-Yeah she had enough time to flick it in front of her shoulders.

Corrected entry: When Smalls is walking over to the fence to see the dog, you can hear a popping sound. You can hear another one when the kids are looking at the broken baseball when Benny hits it.

Correction: That sound is a sound people can make when popping bubble gum or when their popping their lips together, as seen in Shrek 2. One of the boys could have been doing either one.

Continuity mistake: When Smalls tries to throw the ball for the first time, everyone laughs at him and falls down. When it shows the guys from Smalls' view, it shows Yeah-Yeah falling down. Then when Smalls is running away, it shows Yeah-Yeah falling again.

Question: At the end of the movie, it shows Benny managing to steal home, being called safe, the catcher arguing that Benny was out and the umpire saying Benny was safe. In slow motion, it shows the catcher catching the ball and tagging Benny as he slides into home so why wasn't Benny called out?

Answer: The umpire got the call wrong in that case. It happens all the time in real life. It wasn't allowed back then, but now Major League Baseball and other sports leagues will use instant replay to make sure they get close calls right.

Phaneron

Answer: The catcher tags Benny on the chest after he touches home plate with his left hand. Safe.

LorgSkyegon

Answer: The film shows Benny beating the tag. Although the ball gets there before Benny, the catcher tags Benny a split second after his hand touches home plate.
