Trivia
The character of Hank Murphy, the Angels' owner, is loosely based on owner, actor and country music star Gene Autry, right down to the cowboy hat. Autry passed away October 1998. When the Anaheim Angels won the 2002 World Series, they dedicated their win to Autry.

Goofs
Though released in 1994, the film is based on the 1993 season as the Detroit Tigers and Milwaukee Brewers are still wearing their respective uniforms of that season. Also the Oakland A's are wearing their all Green Cap with a white "A's" on the cap. In 1994 the A's away cap was change to an all green crap with a gold "A's" logo on the cap.

Quotes
Roger Bomman: God... if there is a God... if you're a man or a woman... if you're listening, I'd really, really like a family. My dad says that will only happen if the Angels win the pennant. The baseball team, I mean. So, maybe you can help them win a little. Amen. Oh, a-woman, too.

Believe in this

This film is way better than my expectations. The message is very positive, as it reminds us that we just have to believe in ourselves for miracles to happen. The story moves me to tears! It is also funny to see Matthew McConaughey and Adrien Brody in non speaking support roles, and a young Joseph Gordon Levitt.
