Visible crew/equipment: When Squad 51 is heading to 1511 West Hill, responding to the attempted suicide, in the closeup of Roy and Johnny en route, we see the reflection of Squad 51 as they're driving past houses/stores on Johnny's side. Just about as Roy says, "It should be it over there," in the reflection we see two crew members riding on the squad - one on top of the squad, and the other one standing on the back.

Visible crew/equipment: At the structure fire, after the security guard is safely down the ladder, Johnny follows him as Roy watches from the window, and when the fire flashes through the doors, we can see the hand of a crew member pushing the lower boxes causing them to tumble.

Visible crew/equipment: After Roy breaks the window with the chair, the guys place the ladder against the window and Marco starts to climb up. In the next interior shot, just as Roy and Johnny lift the security guard, right outside the window we can see the corner of something else (platform-like), besides the top of the ladder.

Visible crew/equipment: While Early is listening to the heartbeat of the boy with a heart problem, Dixie is standing beside him, and on the glass case behind them we can see movement in the reflection, even though it's only the three of them in that treatment room.

Visible crew/equipment: During the structure fire, when Roy, Johnny and the security guard are in the upstairs room and Roy closes the doors, just as they start to walk toward the window, the moving shadow of the cameraman and camera are visible on the wall. The shadow is not moving in sync with the guys so we know it's not theirs.

Breakdown - S6-E15

Charlie: I think you guys are playing games with me, and I don't like it.
Roy: Now, wait a minute. We're not playing games. We don't play games with the equipment...
Captain Stanley: Wait, hold on. C'mon everybody, look we're all on the same side here, aren't we?
Charlie: I wonder.
Captain Stanley: Charlie, why can't we put the squad in the shop and have us a reserve vehicle here?
Charlie: No, no, Hank. Not until I'm 100% sure that I can't fix it. If there's anything wrong with it. This coffee stinks. [Leaves the room.]
Captain Stanley: You guys playing some kind of joke on him?
John: We didn't make the coffee!
Captain Stanley: Not the coffee, you twit, the squad.
Roy: Cap, there's something wrong with that squad out there.
Captain Stanley: [sigh.] All right, if you say so... I made the coffee.

School Days - S2-E14

Question: Who are the two baseball players that walk up to the nurses' station to talk about their teammate and discuss his relationship status with his girlfriend to Dixie?

Answer: I was rewatching a few first season episodes of Charlie's Angels (1976), and in S1xE6 "The Killing Kind," I recognized the same actor. So, to finally fully answer your question, the two baseball players in School Days are played by Rod Perry and Sean Fallon Walsh.

Answer: I took a screenshot of the two actors, with Rod Perry on the right (https://imgur.com/GCW1myD). Hopefully someone will know the name of the actor on the left. Both actors are uncredited in the episode's credits.

Super Grover

Answer: The guy on the right is actor, Rod Perry. Two years later he played Deacon in the 1970s TV show S.W.A.T. As for the actor on the left, I recognize his face and voice, but I can't recall from what.
