good accuracy, unlike most baseball films
The thing I liked about this movie was the details.
The 1995 home brewers jersey was correct
the brewers WERE in the national league at that time
they mention in passing the transition from the A.L. to N.L. of the brewers in the film
the jumbotron that show Mac shows his average at .032, the correct number as stated in the movie
the hidden ball trick was used legally, with the pitcher not on the mound,
the film was not inanely unbelievable, as the team wasn't good and ended up aiming for third place in a six team division, and Bernie Mac totally blew upon coming back. Also, there was a surprising, pleasant ending, that went against the sappy conventions of bad sports movies
when it was Mac up in the bottom of the ninth, I started to groan, but was pleasantly surprised by the twist. also T-Rex's homer total was not unbelievable, hovering around 53 or so. And Mac's stats are surprisingly realistic, with his total of 91 RBI's one year, a .314 career average, and (3000) hits, all good but not roll-your-eyes unbelievable
as a baseball fan, it is painful to watch slime like rookie of the year with its illegal plays and an impossible NL-NL world series, and I was grateful for the accuracy of this movie
