The Opening Day sequence was filmed on 4 September 2004 with Stephen King throwing out the first pitch; the Red Sox lost that game, ending a ten-game winning streak and King was blamed for it in the Boston Globe.
While filming in Toronto, Ontario Canada, Drew Barrymore was asked to throw the first pitch of the game. It barely made it to the plate and she was extremely embarrassed.
Jessamy Finet (Theresa) is an actual, die-hard Red Sox fan who appeared in Still We Believe: The Boston Red Sox Movie (2004), a documentary about the Red Sox's heartbreaking 2003 season. Jimmy Fallon saw the film and convinced producers to cast her for the role of Theresa.
During the flashback to the first game that Ben's uncle took him to, three actual former 1980 Red Sox players playing themselves are seen. Two are very recognizable star players: closer Dennis Eckersley and left fielder Jim Rice. The other is Keith MacWhorter, who only pitched one season in the majors and posted an 0-3 record in 24 games.

"[last lines] Al: [voice over] Oh, one more thing. You know that little player to be named later? Ben says if it's a boy, they'll name him Ted Williams Wrightman. If it's a girl, Carla Yastrzemski Wrightman. Let's all pray for a boy."
