    • Trivia
      Game and tryout scenes were filmed on location at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles.
    • Goofs
      After a Stars batter grounds out to end the inning (and setting up Ralph's pitching debut), the radio announcer says the game is going into the bottom of the ninth. The Stars are the home team in the game and would be the team hitting in the bottom of an inning.
    • Quotes

      Bill Maxwell: Oh, I love this game. This game is... America, like...

      Ralph Hinkley: Apple sauce?

      Bill Maxwell: Apple pie, Ralph. Try to have a little respect.
