Fever Pitch

Ben (Jimmy Fallon) and Lindsey (Drew Barrymore) get back together when Ben tries to sell his tickets and Lindsey realizes that he loves her and would sell his tickets to get back together with her. The Red Sox make a comeback and beat the Yankees and then win the World Series against St. Louis. Lindsey is pregnant and if the child is a boy, he'll be named Ted Williams; if it's a girl, she'll be named Carla Yastrzemski.

Factual error: In the opening day clips, they show 49, Tim Wakefield, starting. The starting pitcher that day was 38 Curt Schilling (Wakefield never played that day). Furthermore, the clips show them playing against the Texas Rangers; opening day 2004 was against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Suggested correction: Not Curt Schilling, Bronson Arroyo started the home opener against Toronto in 2004.

Trivia: Towards the end, Lindsey and Ben are shown kissing on the field right after the Red Sox win the World Series. That shot was actually filmed moments after the Sox won the World Series on the field on October 27, 2004.

More trivia for Fever Pitch

Question: I know it wouldn't make for a very dramatic ending, but is there no way to get from the centre field seats where Lindsay was in Fenway to Ben's seats along the first line? I mean, couldn't she have just ran along a main concourse?

Answer: At the stadiums that I've been to there are ushers posted at the top of the stairs that lead to seats closer to the field. You can't get down there without showing a ticket for that section. They also show her trying to get to that section and being told she can't go in that gate. Also, she sees through the binoculars that Ben is about to sell his tickets and she wants to create a diversion.
