Corrected entry: When the team is playing day games, the sun is in right field. This is against MLB rules as the sun must not be in the batter's eyes. Other baseball movies have shown this same mistake as well.
Mr. Baseball (1992)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Fred Schepisi
Starring: Tom Selleck, Dennis Haysbert, Ken Takakura, Aya Takanashi
Other mistake: At the end of the film, Hammer agrees to join the Los Angeles Dodgers just in time for a weekend series against the Atlanta Braves. The problem here is that the Dragons won the Central League Pennant and thus, qualify for the Japan Series. The Dragons wouldn't allow him to leave until the postseason has been completed.
Jack Eliot: We're not athletes, we're baseball players.
Trivia: Jack's home run streak and the fight with the Hiroshima Carp pitcher who hit him were based on 2 actual events by 2 differnt American ex-Baseball players playing in Japan, Randy Bass and Warren Cromartie respectively.

Correction: First: They aren't playing in Major League Baseball. They are playing in Nippon Professional Baseball. Different league, different rules. Second: it's not a rule. The MLB rulebook only states that it is "desirable" for an orientation of that type. It's not required. Https://medium.com/@kevin_bullock/losing-baseballs-in-the-sun-860e81601b25.
