The Tycoons - S5-E23

Visible crew/equipment: When Squad 51 is dispatched to the baby with difficulty breathing, in the wide shot when the squad pulls into the driveway and heads to the front of the house, the cameraman steps out of the shadows on the right side of screen and walks toward the squad (then it cuts to the footage he was shooting), and in the next shot as the moving camera closes in on the squad in front of it, the cameraman's shadow becomes visible on the tree and house.

Cook's Tour - S1-E4

Visible crew/equipment: After Roy and John pull up to the house with the woman in labor, when the deputy pulls up behind Squad 51, the reflection of production equipment alongside the lamppost is visible on the car's surface.

Visible crew/equipment: When Brackett, Dixie and Early are working on the unconscious little boy, once Brackett says to go with the pacemaker, multiple black T-marks are visible all over the floor - three under the gurney and one near the cart.

The Promise - S3-E11

Decision - S2-E1

Visible crew/equipment: During the structure fire, after Roy finds the boy and his dog under the bed, when Roy heads down the stairs and then rushes back up, as he gets to the top of the stairs when the camera pans to the left we can see the barndoor set lighting, at the top left side of the screen.

The Mouse - S4-E20

Revealing mistake: At the apartment complex fire, after Johnny is knocked unconscious by the explosion, when the Pasadena fireman finds him and has to lift him up, it's funny how even though Johnny's unconscious we can see that he actually helps to stand himself up, so the fireman can lift him up and carry him out.

Question: Who are the two baseball players that walk up to the nurses' station to talk about their teammate and discuss his relationship status with his girlfriend to Dixie?

Answer: I was rewatching a few first season episodes of Charlie's Angels (1976), and in S1xE6 "The Killing Kind," I recognized the same actor. So, to finally fully answer your question, the two baseball players in School Days are played by Rod Perry and Sean Fallon Walsh.

Answer: I took a screenshot of the two actors, with Rod Perry on the right (https://imgur.com/GCW1myD). Hopefully someone will know the name of the actor on the left. Both actors are uncredited in the episode's credits.

Super Grover

Answer: The guy on the right is actor, Rod Perry. Two years later he played Deacon in the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
