Plot hole: In the scene after Gil saves Bobby's son Shawn, Gil claims he doesn't know who Bobby is. Even guessing that he may be Barry Bonds. Then in the next scene when Gil is pitching to Bobby he knows all about his slump, number, contact, and about Primo's death and this did not strike him as odd?

Continuity mistake: The point is made a couple of times in the movie that Bobby Rayburn is playing centerfield for the Giants and moving Juan Primo to LEFT field. But on Opening Day, when Rayburn and Primo collide in the outfield trying to catch a fly ball, Rayburn's moving to his left while Primo's moving to his right, indicating that Primo was playing RIGHT field.

Question: Primo has the number 11 in a shield branded on his shoulder. Is this something he did himself because the number always meant something to him, or was it done to him, and he decided to wear number 11 in response to it?
