Best Young Actor Costarring in a Motion Picture | 1993
Box Office Collection 17,530,973 USD
The minor league Danville Dans stadium in Danville, Illinois, was the one used for Fenway Park and Forbes Field, as well as being seen in black/white news footage.
When interviewed during production of the film, John Goodman noted the irony of having to lose weight to play the part of Ruth.
In the film, "Jumping" Joe Dugan is portrayed as Ruth's teammate and mentor since Ruth's rookie year in Boston in 1914. In real life, Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees in 1920. Joe Dugan didn't join the Red Sox until 1922 and the two weren't teammates until Dugan was traded to the Yankees midway through the 1922 season.
Every ballpark except Fenway Park was portrayed by Wrigley Field (Cubs fans can tell just by looking at how the grass is cut by 1st and 3rd base).
In the film, Babe Ruth is depicted as being overweight since his youth. In reality Babe never put on the weight until his adult life when he started making money playing ball enjoying the labors of his fortunes. He lost a lot of weight when he was first diagnosed with cancer.
"Johnny Sylvester: You are the best, you are the best there's ever been."
"Harry Frazee, Red Sox Owner: Half of everything I own just went down the drain with the "Gladiators of Broadway". The other half, is in the pocket of The Sultan of Swat, and he wants a raise and his own suites during road games."
