Directed by: Phil Alden Robinson
Starring: Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta, Burt Lancaster, James Earl Jones, Amy Madigan
Revealing mistake: At Fenway, when Ray sees the scoreboard cycling through images, watch the crowd below the scoreboard. They jump as if the scene cuts or is looped.
Revealing mistake: The time on the scoreboard clock when Ray hears the "go the distance" message changes from 10:30 to 10:32 in a matter of seconds.
Factual error: Joe Jackson batted left-handed in real life, not right-handed as Ray Liotta portrayed. He also threw right-handed and not left-handed like it shows when Kevin Costner is hitting him fly balls to left field.
Shoeless Joe Jackson: Ty Cobb wanted to play, but none of us could stand the son of a bitch when we were alive, so we told him to stick it.
Trivia: Then unknown, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are among the thousands of extras in the Fenway Park scene.
Question: At the end of the movie, the Voice is credited as Himself. Who was really responsible for doing the voice that sent Ray on his journey?

Answer: It was actually his own voice (Kevin Costner) that sent him on the journey. At the end of the movie there's even the part where Ray is recalling the voices he heard and turned to Shoeless Joe Jackson and says, "It was you". At which point Joe Jackson turns around and says, "No Ray. It was you".
