Continuity mistake: Through the top half of the ninth, when the Yankees are batting, the scoreboard indicates the Indians have 7 hits. But in the bottom of the ninth, after the Duke comes in to pitch and Willie Mays Hayes is up, the scoreboard shows the Indians have 8 hits. The only way this would be possible is if a batter before Tomlinson's flyout got a hit and was thrown out stretching. But it's a famous error of the movie that there couldn't have been other batters in the inning for Hayes to be up when he is.

Continuity mistake: In the playoff game against the Yankees, right after Uecker announces Harris (the pitcher) is in trouble, there is a shot of him from behind the mound. It's a little out of focus, but look at his hair from under his cap. It doesn't match his hair in the next shot where you see him throwing a pitch. (01:22:35)

Continuity mistake: When Lou Brown and the pitching coach are working with Vaughn, walk over to the plate and stand on either side of Taylor (to simulate a batter on either side). In the first shot, you can see a "No Pepper Games" sign off to the left side, the shot cuts to Vaughn, and then back to the coaches and Taylor. All of a sudden, the sign has moved from over on the left side on the backstop, to directly above Taylor on the backstop and Vaughn proceeds to smash it with a high fastball. Another mistake entry said this: In spring training, Lou Brown and the other coach walk over to check out Charlie Sheen's pitching. When Lou says "all right, let's see what you can do," the coaches are pretty much either side of a post supporting the fence, with a "no pepper" sign to their right. When Sheen pitches, the two coaches have suddenly moved about 6 feet over, away from the post, with the no pepper sign directly between them. The coaches didn't move, the sign did. There's only one home plate there. How could the plate move? It had to be the sign. (00:15:15)

Other mistake: Near the end of the movie, Ricky Vaughn strikes out the Yankees' best player, ending the inning. As they walk off the field, the Yankees' Third Base coach is still in the coaches' box. He has no need to be, he should be off the field.

Continuity mistake: In the top of the ninth, Harris is working on a 7 hitter and gives up a double, but the inning ends after a walk and strikeout. Thus the Yankees should have 8 hits heading into the bottom of the 9th. Yet the scoreboard when Duke comes in shows the Yankees with 9 hits. This means they picked up a hit in between the half-inning, which is impossible. And the scorekeeper couldn't have changed an error from earlier in the game to a hit because the scoreboard never listed an error had been made. (01:27:20 - 01:33:30)

Question: What brand of rum does Cerano have in his locker for Jobu?

Answer: At about 17 min. in is the best view of the bottle, it says "Bonded" at the top of the label, then just "Jamaca Rum". Below that you can barely make out "A Product of..." the rest is too out of focus.
