Corrected entry: When the team is playing day games, the sun is in right field. This is against MLB rules as the sun must not be in the batter's eyes. Other baseball movies have shown this same mistake as well.
Mr. Baseball (1992)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Fred Schepisi
Starring: Tom Selleck, Dennis Haysbert, Ken Takakura, Aya Takanashi
Continuity mistake: Toward the end of the movie when the Dragons are facing the Giants for the Pennant, Hammer is up to bat and get a hit. When you see him round first base, they show a picture of the dugout, where you will find him holding a large hammer. It's tough to be at bat and on the bench.
Jack Elliot: Japanese way, 'Shut up and Take it'.
Hiroko Uchiyama: Jack's way, 'ME, ME, ME'! Sometimes acceptance and cooperation are strengths also.
Trivia: Jack's home run streak and the fight with the Hiroshima Carp pitcher who hit him were based on 2 actual events by 2 differnt American ex-Baseball players playing in Japan, Randy Bass and Warren Cromartie respectively.

Correction: First: They aren't playing in Major League Baseball. They are playing in Nippon Professional Baseball. Different league, different rules. Second: it's not a rule. The MLB rulebook only states that it is "desirable" for an orientation of that type. It's not required. Https://medium.com/@kevin_bullock/losing-baseballs-in-the-sun-860e81601b25.
