A Texas baseball coach makes the major league after agreeing to try out if his high school team made the playoffs. |
| Trivia | The movie theater marquee shows the title of the baseball classic Bang the Drum Slowly (1973), also directed by a John Hancock (John D. Hancock) (no relation). |
| Goofs | Continuity: The number of people in the stands at The Ballpark in Arlington. This is because the scene where Jimmy makes his first walk to the mound was filmed during the seventh inning stretch of a real Rangers game, but all of the pitching shots were done after the game. When Jimmy is on the mound looking around, you can see the stands behind him are empty. |
