Gotta love the spreading of these myths. Its hard enough that the common fan considers them truths.
Have any of you guys ever visited moviemistakes.com? Another interesting website that has a huge database of just about every mistake made in every movie. I have not looked over any of the baseball movies, however.

Before I watch a movie (usually on DVD) I sometimes check with moviemistakes.com to see what mistakes there will be and it's kind of fun looking for them - because they are often very hard to spot.

I particularly liked the one in the movie "Gladiator" (with Russell Crowe) where one of the stage hands can be scene in the background of the Roman army wearing a Polo shirt and jeans. Funny!
