Sheriff Sam's research on Richie Cusack leads him to wonder if there really is a connection between Tom and the Philadelphia mob. In a scene at the house, Tom and Edie convince him otherwise. Yet days later, Richie is killed in what would be considered a high-profile mob rubout. This should reignite Sam's original suspicion of Tom, in a sense voiding Tom's return to a peaceful life. The movie wants us to believe that Sam will ignore the fact that Tom is an obvious suspect in Richie's killing. [We never see what happens after Tom returns home to his family either. It is left up to the imagination, so it might very well be that Sam would come after Tom. To say that "the movie wants us to believe Sam will ignore this" is the submitter's own interpretation of the last, ambiguous scene in the film.]

In the baseball scene, the runner on third is seen leaning towards home with the front foot on the bag. Any T-baller would know to keep the back foot on the bag, not the front. [They are kids. They get excited and forget what they are supposed to be doing.]

Tom Stall is in his diner after Carl Fogarty comes in to accost him. He runs home the next morning ringing his wife Edie to get the shotgun as the hoods are driving to their home. After Edie fetches the shotgun she closes the front door with the doorknob on the right side. When Tom comes rushing in, the doorknob is on the left and in all other scenes it's on the right. [There are two different doors. One of them has the coat rack and shelf to the left, and the other doesn't.]
