For Love of the Game

Continuity mistake: When the Tigers are coming to bat in the third inning, the announcer says that they have 2 hits so far, but the scoreboard at Yankee stadium just showed them as having 0.

Continuity mistake: In the ninth inning, Billy Chapel is booed just before he says "maybe you'd be stalling too." The game is being played at night at this point in the game. But fans are shown booing in daylight.

Continuity mistake: Pinch hitter Strout wore number 60. But after making the final out of the game, we see him returning to the dugout, taking off his batting helmet, and he's wearing number 61.

Factual error: Kevin Coster's arrival at spring training is set up by a shot of a beach scene with the caption "Spring Training Lakeland Florida". The shot was not filmed in Lakeland and is not at all representative of this town. Lakeland, Florida is located near the middle of the state, and while it does have many lakes, it is not on the ocean. (I suspect this shot was actually filmed in Ft. Lauderdale or Miami, which is at least 200 miles away.) (00:05:56)
