Factual error: The first batter of the baseball game, Jay Johnstone, bats from the right-handed batter's box. Johnstone, a real player who is playing himself in the scene, was a lifetime left-handed batter.

Suggested correction: Johnstone also played his last game in 1985, he never played for Seattle, and never wore "29." So, other than the name, there's nothing to indicate he's playing himself. He's not even credited as "himself."

Corrected entry: The Angels score a grand slam home run, but it is not reflected on the scoreboard. There should be at least a "4" shown in one of the innings, but there isn't.
Correction: There is nothing evidenced to say it was a grand slam. Yes we see a few runners round the bases, but it could be also be a 2 or 3-run homer.
We see four runners. That's a grand slam.
Correction: The scene is done as a joke. Yes, you see 4 players, but they are all seen rounding 2nd, which means 3 of them had to be on 1st.
