- GoofsScorekeeper Billy talks to Joey about seeing former players in the field in his imagination and mentions Cap Anson, Three-Finger Brown, Joe Tinker, Johnny Evers, and Frank Chance. Taking into account that in this version of the play, the Cubs are called the Bruins, so things might have been different, none of the named players played with the Cubs in Wrigley with the exception of Tinker, but not as part of the Tinker-to-Evers-to Chance combination Billy mentions.

Featured review
Sweet, Funny and Heartbreaking...Just like the Cubs
Yes, I know the team in the movie is the Chicago Bruins but you just know it's the Cubs. This is a good movie although not a good baseball movie. A little too cliche' and a few too many errors (pitcher not pitching from the rubber, players changing position, bad baseball skills. etc.) to be a good baseball movie. But a good character study with a great ensemble cast. The couple who fight over the betting, the estranged father and son who came back together, the blind man and the bimbo with a heart of gold and of course, the wacko fanatic played with a lot of zesto by Stephen Markle. A baseball fan will probably enjoy it most but it's still a good movie to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon when the Cubbies (or your local team) has been rained out.
