Factual error: Under the rules of Major League Baseball, a team owner cannot also serve as the team's manager; it constitutes a conflict of interest.
Little Big League (1994)
Directed by: Andrew Scheinman
Starring: Timothy Busfield, John Ashton, Luke Edwards, Ashley Crow
Other mistake: When they do the SPECIAL play, and the pitcher throws the ball to the first baseman, and the first baseman looks for the ball along with the guard and 2 to 3 players. The ball is really at 2nd base, a trick play, but there is NO base coach.
Continuity mistake: In the scene after the Twins lost their first game while Billy and his grandpa were leaving the field, Billy was walking at his grandpa's right side. Then the scene cuts and shows their back. When the scene shows their front again Billy is walking at his grandpa's left side.
Trivia: Before becoming an actor, Scott Patterson pitched for the minor league affiliates of the New York Yankees, Atlanta Braves, and Texas Rangers. Bradley Jay Lesley, who plays "Blackout" Gatling, pitched for the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers.
Trivia: While he plays the manager of the Minnesota Twins, Dennis Farina is a Chicago Cubs fan.
Margaret Sullivan: Isn't that wonderful? Your Grandfather gave you the twins.
Billy Heywood: I would rather have my Grandfather.
Billy Heywood: Who would've thought they'd throw you a changeup with a three-two count and the bases loaded?
Lou Collins: I bet you did, didn't you. You did! Ya knew it.
George O'Farrell: Hey 'Blackout, ' I didn't get you for your curve ball. I don't like your curve ball. As a matter of fact, I hate your curve. You know why? Because the damn thing don't curve.
