Because there was no accurate documentation of it, no one knew what the precise color of the Yankee Stadium seats were in 1961. When faced with this dilemma, production designer Rusty Smith was told that Billy Crystal had an old bleacher seat from Yankee Stadium. Though the seat was completely painted blue, Smith found one small chip of green on the seat that proved to be the true Yankee Stadium green.
Most of the details of the games recreated for the film were based on Billy Crystal's firsthand memories of having seen or watched the actual games. As a result, the film's crew members nicknamed him "Rain Man" (from Rain Man (1988)) for his uncanny ability to remember the games to the smallest detail.
The fan who runs out and shakes Roger Maris's hand and slaps him on the back as he approaches home plate after his record-breaking 61st home run is an actual life-long Maris fan who was present at the original game. He was hired as a consultant and always wished he could have been that guy back in the summer of 1961 when he saw the game as a 13-year-old kid.
The part of Baltimore Oriole knuckleball pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm was played by real-life major league knuckleball pitcher Tom Candiotti.
As a close friend of Mickey Mantle and his family, Billy Crystal was given permission by the family to honestly portray Mantle's drinking and carousing. Many of the moments in the movie of Mantle getting drunk really happened. This includes his getting drunk and calling home at 2 a.m. from his hotel room, as in the scene following the death threats to Roger Maris and his family.
"Bob Sheppard: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Yankee Stadium."
"Mickey: I just ain't getting there. I just can't play no more. I'm wore out, done. I'm out of the race. Thought I took pretty good care of myself too. Roger: You did Mick. Damn straight you did. Mickey: Well anyway, he's all yours if you want him. You go get that fat fuck."
