In the "Opening Day" scene, everyone is wearing shorts and t-shirts. Opening day in 2004 was April 9th and game time temperature was 52 F. Not really t-shirts and shorts weather. [Not really a mistake. I wore a T-shirt to that game.]

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

When Lindsey and Ben are arguing about Paris, they talk about Seattle being in town yet Ben's calendar shows Anaheim. [No particular date is given, but Ben says he's busy over the "weekend", and there is a Mariners weekend series on the schedule. The Anaheim series was August 31st-September 2nd, which was a Tuesday-Thursday. Since that is obviously not a weekend series, and they are talking about the Mariners, and there's no evidence to the contrary, it's probably safe to assume they were discussing the Mariners 9th-12th series, which was Friday-Monday.]
Towards the end of the movie it shows Drew Barrymore running across the baseball field. This was also broadcast on T.V. as it shows her surprised parents watching it live. The only problem is when a fan jumps on the field during a real game, the camera pans away from them to discourage anyone from trying this stunt thinking they will get on T.V. [This isn't really a mistake. I have watched many games and sometimes they do zoom in on the runner, even on NESN.]
Ben and Lindsay are walking down the street. Ben had a drink in his hand. In the next shot it was gone and no evidence he had been drinking anything. [While it would help when this mistake happens, the scene I believe you are referring can be explained because there is a change in time. While the conversation they are having is the same despite the shot changing, it is a different time and place. You can tell because it goes from day to night between shots and they are both wearing entirely different clothes.]

While eating the lobster dinner with her parents, Ben must have had his ears covered so he did not hear the results of a Red Sox game that he supposedly had recorded. This is impossible as he makes it clear that he has never missed an inning (until a later game, when his friend calls to say they came back in the ninth inning with 8 runs). He had to have watched it on TV or heard it on the radio while it was live. [Watching it on tape does not mean he missed an inning. In fact he missed the later game because he did not tape it.]
During the montage of games, when "Sweet Caroline" is being played, Lindsey and Ben are both wearing Red Sox Championship T-shirts. In the movie, the Sox aren't champions yet. [Their shirts actually say something close to Boston Red Sox, World Series Champions, 1918. This was the last time that the Red Sox had won the World Series at the time that the movie takes place. You can see Ben wearing the same shirt earlier in the movie.]
In the very beginning Ben takes the kids in his class to meet Lindsey and in the car he's listening to The Dennis and Callahan Show, which is on AM in Boston (WEEI). When the boy in the front seat changes the station, it goes to what is obviously an FM stereo music channel. [It is quite possible to go from an AM station to an FM station in a click of a button. Not a mistake.]
A phone call is received saying Lindsay is on TV. Ben and Lindsay rush to turn on the TV. At that point the news story on the TV was just starting and the part showing Lindsay had not been shown yet (and was shown a few seconds later). [When a news show is about to go to a commercial, they sometimes show what is comming up later in the show. So the little clip of Lindsay getting hit might have been previewed, and Ben's friend could have seen this and called Ben and told him.]
