This is a brilliant film, Harold Lloyd was a genius.
I suppose only a nitpicking baseball fan would point this out, but did anyone notice when he was displaying the score of the game so cleverly in the donut case (used a pretzel for a 3, etc?) that the Yankee score was displayed in the top half of the inning. It was confirmed that the Yankees were playing in Yankee stadium (hence, a home game) more than a few times and, as such, the Yankees would have been batting in the bottom half of the innings. I realize this almost a ridiculously minor flaw to point out, but Lloyd was known as a perfectionist (and I think a baseball fan, too), so kind of surprised it made it past him. Now everyone can piss on me.
