Trivia
Curiously enough, although Rom was shown to be the worst player on the team, Max Grodénchik is actually the best baseball player among the cast and crew, which was no small feat, considering that Avery Brooks, Cirroc Lofton, Armin Shimerman and Aron Eisenberg are all accomplished baseball players in their own right. Grodénchik had to play left-handed to give a bad performance because he was just too good at the game. Nana Visitor, however, proved to be completely inept at the sport, and Nicole de Boer was not much better.

Goofs
The name on the baseball shirt that Colonel Kira is wearing changes from "Kira" to "Nerys" throughout the game.

The Sisko/Vulcan rivalry is at the core of this. Sisko's lifelong Vulcan adversary has taught the game of baseball to his crew. They have polish and understanding of the game. Jake and his father are really the only ones who have a knowledge of the game. Baseball can be pretty complicated to one who has no experience with it. To play the game it takes some skills practiced over time. As a lifetime fan and player, there are some things that don't wash. One is Worf's inability to even touch the ball with the bat. He is the Zen master and has that second sight. I thought it would have been fun for him to hit a 500 foot home run. The others, for all their good intentions are as hapless as can be. It's an interruption from the intense issues of the war. But as a baseball episode, it doesn't do very well.
