Factual error: When the game is being played against the Dodgers, the sun is in the outfield and putting shadows facing towards home plate and the batter which is illegal in the rules of baseball. The sun can not be in the batter's eyes. This same mistake has happened in other baseball movies too.

Suggested correction: While it is a recommended rule (MLB 1.04), it is not against the rules for a stadium to be aligned any way. As seen here, many stadiums are aligned differently.

True, however all stadiums are built with home plate on the south, north or west sides of the stadiums (including SW, NW) NO stadium has home plate on the EAST side (or NE, SE, etc) for this specific major rule.
