Factual error: In one scene Cobb and the sportswriter doing his biography are driving across the country to get to the baseball Hall of Fame. They are stopped next to some railroad tracks fixing a flat tire, and a train goes by that has Burlington Northern markings (BN). Burlington Northern didn't come into existance until ten years or so after Mr. Cobb died.

Louis Prima: With all the great players playing ball right now, how well do you think you would do against today's pitchers?
Ty Cobb: Well, I figure against today's pitchers I'd only probably hit about.290.
Louis Prima: .290? Well that's amazing, because you batted over.400 a... a whole bunch of times. Now tell us all, we'd all like to know, why do you think you'd only hit.290?
Ty Cobb: Well, I'm 72 fucking years old you ignorant son of a bitch.
