Corrected entry: When Chet Steadman blows out his arm, Sal Martinella tells him that he's going to save Chet for the playoffs. But since the Cubs are currently playing the NLDS, they're already in the playoffs. [Note: "The playoffs" is defined as everything played after the regular season ends, which includes the Division Series.]

Correction: The Cubs aren't playing in the NLDS. The movie is set in 1993. Major League Baseball didn't expand to 3 divisions until 1994 and in '93 the Mets and Cubs were in the same division Before expansion to 3 divisions, no 2 teams from the same division could make the playoffs. The last game of the movie is a 1 game playoff to decide the division winner. See my Factual Error entry for an explanation of the situation. Also for the record the NLDS IS the first round of the playoffs, the NLDS is NOT part of the regular season.
