Trivia
The scenes depicting the main characters in Arizona at an outdoor barbecue were actually filmed at a mansion in Cleveland. The home was owned by the Erdman family and was located around the 1900 block of E. 87th St. Other scenes shot in Cleveland were at the following locations: Detention Home, Edgewater Park, The Flats, The Art Museum, The Cleveland Playhouse and of course, Cleveland Municipal Stadium.

Crazy credits
Introducing Rusty Tamblyn as Johnny Barrows and his 30 godfathers.

Although a dreadful film, The Kid from Cleveland should be of more than routine interest to the baseball fan with a sense of history. Small cameo speaking appearances are made throughout by such baseball greats as Hank Greenberg, Bob Feller, Tris Speaker, Bill Veeck, Satchel Paige, Larry Doby -- well, just look at the cast. The players do more than just bat and pitch, the difference between this and most baseball movies.
