Continuity mistake: With Vaughn pitching in game 121 (current record 60-60), he gives up a walk and then a double (according to Harry Doyle). Then he gives up the three-run homerun to Heywood - runners are shown running from first and third, and the guy from first is in a full sprint, which wouldn't happen on the shot that Heywood hit.
Continuity mistake: At the end of the movie when the Indians are playing the Yankees, in the 9th inning Hays is on 2nd and starts to steal 3rd. Taylor bunts the ball and the 3rd baseman and shortstop are shown in the camera view, but Hays is nowhere to be seen. He should have been in the camera shot as he had not reached 3rd base yet.
Continuity mistake: Through the top half of the ninth, when the Yankees are batting, the scoreboard indicates the Indians have 7 hits. But in the bottom of the ninth, after the Duke comes in to pitch and Willie Mays Hayes is up, the scoreboard shows the Indians have 8 hits. The only way this would be possible is if a batter before Tomlinson's flyout got a hit and was thrown out stretching. But it's a famous error of the movie that there couldn't have been other batters in the inning for Hayes to be up when he is.
Continuity mistake: When Hayes scores the game winner in the tiebreaker, the home plate umpire is not wearing his cap. The cap is back on when he shouts "Safe! Safe!"
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Willie Mays Hays is stealing home in the final game, the first baseman throws to the catcher. The catcher catches it - with his shin and left foot lying directly across home plate. It switches to an overhead shot, and the catcher is a good five or six feet away from the plate.
Answer: Lynn's last name is Westland. The credits have it incorrectly listed as Wells. There is no explanation for the error.
