Despite the remake having a higher MPAA rating than the original (PG-13 verses PG), the ratings board would not allow the remake to feature Coach Morris Buttermaker drinking alcoholic beer in the dugout as he had in the original. Strangely enough the board was fine with him spiking his non-alcoholic beer with hard liquor.
Real-life baseball pro Sammi Kane Kraft's first and only on-screen performance. She later died in a tragic car crash at the age of 20.
When looking for a local business to sponsor the team, Buttermaker tries a business called "Chico's Bail Bonds" which sponsored the team in the original.
In the trailer, the baseball bat with the film's title on it says, "Est. 1976", this was the year the original film was released.
Casting calls for actors with baseball skills were held in: Phoenix, Los Angeles, Toronto, Chicago, Dallas, Vancouver, New Orleans, Atlanta and Seattle, Orlando,FL and Washington D.C.
"Morris Buttermaker: Baseball's hard, guys. I mean, it really is. You can love it but, believe me, it don't always love you back. It's kind of like dating a German chick, you know?"
"Morris Buttermaker: You guys swing like Helen Keller at a Piñata party."
