Sports movie mistakes/inaccuracies that drive you nuts

I mean....this is clearly a balk. You can't use the rosin bag to deceive the runner. Also, you can't do it after time being called, which I assume it was since they were all huddled up.

It was one of the players that walked out of practice and quit, then mysteriously was on the team later in the movie with no explanation

Google the deleted scene... Buudy asks back on Hoosiers. I thought they should have kept it in the movie.

Nuke Laloosh had 18 walks and 18 strikeouts in his professional debut. That's 126 pitches right there, minimum. You know those 18 walks weren't on 4 pitches and the 18 Ks weren't on 3. Plus, he needed 9 other outs.

Starters actually finished games in the 1980s, no matter the pitch count.

I know it shouldn't matter but in 'Field of Dreams' Ray Liotta playing Shoeless Joe and batting right handed always makes me mad.

He (Ray) also threw left handed in the movie and Joe was right handed in the field.

You must not have watched the movie.

The movie came out in 1990 and was in production for years prior to that. This had just happened 10 years earlier at Daytona. You dang right they bashed and banged back then. How you think Dale Earnhardt got his nickname?

Air Bud should have been called for travelling every time he got the ball.
