Corrected entry: At the end of the movie, they state that Stan was elected to the Hall of Fame on the "next ballot". This could not be true since Major League Baseball players only become eligible to be voted into the HOF after waiting 5 years from the last game as a player. (The only exception ever granted to this was Roberto Clemente, whose time requirement was waived after he was killed in a plane crash).

Correction: The Board of Directors of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc. reserves the right to revoke, alter or amend the [rules of election] at any time. The hall of fame could have viewed Stan's case as a special case since he was already in 4 elections, and make an exemption for him. Also Roberto Clemente was not the only exception. Roberto was the only exception that ever got inducted but Thurman Munson was eligible to be voted on in only a year and half's time after his last game.
