Quotes
- Harry Doyle: Well he's gonna walk Beck to pitch to Parkman obviously Taylor's thinking... I don't know WHAT the hell he's thinking.

- Rube Baker: Mr. Parkman, your a great ballplayer and I just like to say, your standing on the tracks and the train's coming through butthead.
- [Vaughn is lamenting the long home run he gave up in his first game]
Rick Vaughn: Oh, yeah? Name one park in America that ball wouldn't have gone out of. Nikki Reese: Yellowstone.
- Tanaka: You have no... you have no...
[looks in translation book] Tanaka: marbles! You have no marbles! Cerrano: Marbles? Huevos?
Trivia
- Baker's inability to throw the ball back to the pitcher was based on former New York Mets catcher Mackey Sasser. Sasser was very successful at throwing out runners attempting to steal second, but had a mental block causing him to flinch several times when trying to throw the ball back to the pitcher. Many baserunners took advantage of this affliction and stole bases while he was triple pumping his throw, and/or lollipopping the throw back.
- Extra Baseball players John Stefero, Brad Tyler, and Jeff Sheaffer all played in the Baltimore minor league system, all playing at one time for the AAA Rochester (NY) Red Wings. Schoop (Kevin Hickey) as well played for Rochester, and was a teammate with Brad Tyler.
- During filming, the real Cleveland Indians were moving out of Cleveland Municipal Stadium into Jacob's Field on the other side of Cleveland. However, Jacob's Field was not yet finished being constructed, so the movie was shot at the stadium of the Baltimore Orioles (which Cleveland's Jacobs Field was modeled after).
