Corrected entry: During the second baseball game, Simon's baseball jersey is nicely tucked in so that you can see only the top half of his number, 8. When the third pitch is thrown and while Simon is hitting the ball, all of Simon's number 8 is fully visible on his shirt.
Simon Birch (1998)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson
Starring: Jim Carrey, Oliver Platt, Ashley Judd, David Strathairn, Joseph Mazzello, Ian Michael Smith
Continuity mistake: When Rebecca Wenteworth is walking towards the baseball diamond, she is looking behind her and waving. When she gets hit in the head with the ball, it's on the wrong side of the face. She should have been hit on the left side of the face.
Simon: I said, what does coffee and donuts have to do with God?
Rev. Russell: They're merely refreshments so people can socialize and talk about up coming events.
Simon: Who ever said church needs a continental breakfast?
Question: When Simon and Joe are ordered by the police chief to do either community service at Reverend Russell's retreat or face prison, they take the community service option. But eventually, Reverend Russell orders Simon not to come on the retreat. So, why wasn't Simon arrested?
Answer: I think they let Simon go because he was sick at the time.
Answer: He acted up during the Christmas pageant so the reverend decided that as a punishment he would not be allowed to go on the retreat.

Correction: In between pitches, Simon could have very possibly moved causing his shirt to become untucked, thereby showing more of the 8 on his jersey.
