Trivia
Studio publicity and Hollywood Reporter news items noted that some scenes were shot on location at Gilmore Field in Los Angeles, CA. The Variety review pointed out that "numerous clips of the [Ebbets Field] Flatbush ballpark [were] used to interweave with staged action." A 14 April 1942 Hollywood news item asserted that "a different ending with lots of baseball" was to be shot at Gilmore at a cost of $25,000 for five days' work.

Errores
In the final baseball sequence, Brooklyn is beating St. Louis 2-1. There are 2 outs and bases loaded and the relief pitcher runs the count to 3-2. The announcer twice indicates that the next pitch will decided the pennant and even says "If it's a strike, it's Brooklyn. If it's a ball, it's St. Louis." Not true. A ball would walk in a run TYING the game, not giving the game to St. Louis. A baseball announcer would surely know that.

Citas
Frank 'Butterfingers' Maguire: Now get this straight, Sam - I'm not stupid, I know what I've been tagged around here. The only one who wanted me was the old lady, but dead or alive, that's who my contract is with, you understand?
Sam Sloan: Okay, okay. But we still need ballplayers. Now, what are gonna use instead of money?
Frank 'Butterfingers' Maguire: What about the new owners?
Sam Sloan: Relatives. The majority of the stock goes to a niece, Kathryn Baker.
Frank 'Butterfingers' Maguire: What's she like?
Sam Sloan: Filthy rich!
Frank 'Butterfingers' Maguire: Does she know anything about the game?
Sam Sloan: Since when do we play baseball on horseback? She's strictly social.
Frank 'Butterfingers' Maguire: Alright, forget it then. Let me do the worrying about her. Look, call a meeting of those relatives for tomorrow morning. We gotta get the ball started rolling fast. And in the meantime, what about those scouts of ours? What have they been doing? Tell them to get out, get on the job. Dig me up a Ruth or a Gehrig.
Sam Sloan: Is that all you want?

It Happened in Flatbush-Take Me out to the Ball Game ***1/2

Enjoyable movie. Years back they would have called this a B film. Today, it would rate A+.

Lloyd Nolan provides just the right touch as the baseball manager. His speech intonation reflects a wonderful Brooklyn accent. We bums in Brooklyn would appreciate every minute of it.

Brought back to manage a baseball team by the owner, (Sara Allgood in an all too brief performance) the film depicts the trials and tribulations of managing a last place team to pennant contention.

Romance is in the air as Nolan tries to woo the snooty niece of the recently deceased owner. Carol Landis does well as the niece.

We see Brooklyn at its best here as the faithful root for the Bums of yesteryear.

Wonderful nostalgia.
