Revealing mistake: At Fenway, when Ray sees the scoreboard cycling through images, watch the crowd below the scoreboard. They jump as if the scene cuts or is looped.

Continuity mistake: The sun changes constantly during the "people will come" sequence. Particularly, long shots of Shoeless Joe and Ray. The sun is overhead and deeper in the west in the space of seconds.

Visible crew/equipment: Ray and Annie are talking about going to Boston and the camera is tracking through their home. The camera is reflected in a picture hanging on a wall in the kitchen as the shot passes it.

Continuity mistake: During Terrance Mann's "people will come" speech, the sun moves around quite a bit. The scenes of the baseball players have long shadows. The scene with Ray has the sun overhead. When Karen falls it is late afternoon again. When Doc leaves it is early evening. From Shoeless Joe's angle it is late morning.

Continuity mistake: Near the beginning, as Ray has a vision of the baseball field, look at the difference of the angle of the sun. During the beginning of this sequence it's near noon. When Ray sees the field materialize the sun is obviously further west in the sky. Then, at the end of the sequence it is noon again.

Easter egg: On the feature disc in the menu where you can access the director's commentary and deleted scenes, click to the right to see a baseball player light up. The director will explain who the voice is.

Continuity mistake: The sun changes considerably when Doc is leaving to walk into the corn and the previous and following shots. When it cuts to Shoeless Joe, the sun is at his back. Back to Doc leaving, the sun is setting.

Continuity mistake: The clock at Fenway jumps two minutes in very little time from 10:30 to 10:32 in the space of two short scenes.
