Curiosidades
At one point, Yogi Berra asks Billy Martin if he thinks Rod Carew (who played for the California Angels) will hit .400. To which, Billy responds "I hope so." While some might question why someone from the Yankees would be interested in what a player from the Angels does, there is a reason for this exchange: When Rod Carew was beginning his career with the Minnesota Twins, Billy was a scout, a coach, and a manager with the team. Carew has said that Billy was one of his biggest supporters on the club and that the Twins ownership wanted to get rid of him when he was a rookie but Billy fought for him. So, Billy was genuinely hopeful for Carew's success as it proved Billy's ability to judge talent. In 1977, Carew won the AL Batting Title with a .388 average.

Pifias
On the morning news, the June 26th attack by the Son of Sam is mentioned. It is then mentioned that the Yankees won 5-4 the day before. However, the June 26th attack occurred at 3 AM in the morning, meaning the attack happened before the Yankees game on June 26th (which they did indeed win 5-4.) The game on the day before the June 26th attack would have been the June 25th game, which the Yankees won 5-1.

Citas
George Steinbrenner: [arguing with Billy Martin] I already got a pennant. I want a ring! if you can't do it, then I will get someone who will.

Innovative Sports Show

I am a big baseball fan and have always enjoyed movies like Bull Durham, The Natural, and Major League. The Bronx Is Burning is quite different.

First of all, it is a television show depicting actual events; the New York Yankees run to the World Series during the 1977 series. Second, this show is not your typical "feel good" sports movie. The players, owner, and manager have gripes with each other. It is interesting to see the true nature of a sports team. They are not always slapping each other on the rear ends and high fiving each other. Some of the players, and even the manager, can't stand each other. It truly was The Bronx Zoo.

One aspect of the show I don't particularly care for are the scenes involving the Son Of Sam murders. These scenes get a little too much attention. It is interesting that events of the day are intertwined throughout the show though, it helps put the show in its appropriate time frame and sets a good mood.

The cast of the four main characters Billy Martin (John Turturro), George Steinbrenner (Oliver Platt), Reggie Jackson (Daniel Sunjata), and Thurman Munson (Erik Jensen) is superb.

You don't have to be a Yankees fan to admire this show. It has a catchy story line that keeps you wanting more. The music for the show is also very good. ESPN has hit a homerun with this one. Rating 9 of 10 stars.
