Character mistake: The sign for the hotel where Jake is staying at in Mexico says Tengo Quarto's para Renta. The word is spelled wrong. It should say CUARTOS. Also, there is no apostrophe s in cuartos. It is plural, not possessive.

Continuity mistake: During the final game, the announcer says that Harris is "working on a seven hitter." He then gives up a double, but multiple shots of the scoreboard after that show the Yankees still with only 7 hits. (01:26:35 - 01:27:24)

Other mistake: When the waiter informs Taylor's ex that she has a phone call, he says "Call for you, Miss Russo" which is the character's real last name.

Suggested correction: She says "Ms. Weslin, there's a telephone call for you." Weslin is Lynn's last name.

Continuity mistake: With Vaughn pitching in game 121 (current record 60-60), he gives up a walk and then a double (according to Harry Doyle). Then he gives up the three-run homerun to Heywood - runners are shown running from first and third, and the guy from first is in a full sprint, which wouldn't happen on the shot that Heywood hit.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when the Indians are playing the Yankees, in the 9th inning Hays is on 2nd and starts to steal 3rd. Taylor bunts the ball and the 3rd baseman and shortstop are shown in the camera view, but Hays is nowhere to be seen. He should have been in the camera shot as he had not reached 3rd base yet.

Hawk

Continuity mistake: When Hayes scores the game winner in the tiebreaker, the home plate umpire is not wearing his cap. The cap is back on when he shouts "Safe! Safe!"

Audio problem: As Harry Doyle celebrates with his broadcast partner, one of them is heard shouting "I can't believe it!" but the dialogue doesn't match either men's lip movement.

Other mistake: During the opening credits the newspaper headlines say: "Can the ex-showgirl turn the team around?" If you read the article under the caption, it is describing a basketball game. (03:22:00)

Zorz

Continuity mistake: In the playoff game against the Yankees, Roger Dorn (#24) hits a single. We then see a wide shot of the runner rounding first base wearing #8. The closeup shot then shows Dorn in his #24 jersey. (01:23:46)

Factual error: Shots of the first game or two have angles of the batters' shadows facing behind home plate (or in other words the sun is around left to center field in some shots). In major league games, that would not be a possibility due to baseball rules that the sun can not be in the batter's eyes.

Other mistake: Near the end of the movie, Ricky Vaughn strikes out the Yankees' best player, ending the inning. As they walk off the field, the Yankees' Third Base coach is still in the coaches' box. He has no need to be, he should be off the field.

Boyfriend: Stay away from her.
Jake Taylor: Suck. My. Dick.

Question: What brand of rum does Cerano have in his locker for Jobu?

Answer: At about 17 min. in is the best view of the bottle, it says "Bonded" at the top of the label, then just "Jamaca Rum". Below that you can barely make out "A Product of..." the rest is too out of focus.
