Trivia

Director Hoffman says in his commentary that the character of Steven Schwimmer is given a birthmark because the original character, as written by Don DeLillo, was not meant to be as attractive as 'Robert Downey Jr.' was when he was cast in the part. Hoffman says, "We had gone long and hard trying to figure out how we create some kind of physical scar that replicates the kind of wound that he feels inside."

Goofs

In one of the taxi/traffic scenes, a passenger in the car behind Michael Keaton's character is out of the car looking to see the cause of traffic. The passenger is an Orthodox Jew. However, this movie takes place on a Saturday (10/25/86), the Jewish Sabbath. An orthodox Jew would not be allowed in a car on Sabbath.

When the camera pans the Red Sox locker room, showing the hung up jerseys, the jerseys have Mitchell and Ness tags on the collar. Mitchell and Ness is a producer of historic and vintage jerseys. In 1986 the MLB uniform manufacturer was Rawlings.

Across the street from the theater showing Nicky's new play, there is a poster for the musical, Brooklyn. The musical opened on October 21, 2004, the night after the Red Sox won the ALCS on the way to winning their first World Series since 1918.

Quotes

Anatoli Kaganovich: I opened thousands of brains.

Nicky Rogan: When the Mets lose, they just lose. It's a flat feeling; there's nothing there. Now the Red Sox, now, here, we have a rich history of really fascinating ways to lose a crucial game. You know what I mean? Defeats that just keep you awake at night. They pound in your head like the hammer of fate. Yeah, you can analyze a Red Sox game day and night for a month and still uncover really complex layers of feelings. Feelings you didn't even know you were capable of having. Yeah. That kind of pain has a memory all of its own.
