Reportedly, star Walter Matthau was paid US $750,000 while Tatum O'Neal was paid US $350,000 and eight percent of net profits.
Tatum O'Neal trained with a professional sports trainer for several weeks before filming began in August 1975, so she could get her pitch "pitch perfect", so to speak. Although some of the pitches in the movie were done by stunt doubles, O'Neal did the bulk of them on her own. (Rare for a movie like this,)
The film's poster art was drawn by Jack Davis, one of the founding illustrators for MAD magazine.
The Bears were the only team in the league whose nickname and colors were not borrowed from a major league baseball team. This helped reinforce their status as misfits and underdogs.
Throughout the film, Coach Buttermaker (Walter Matthau) is constantly drinking beer, yet he is seldom seen drinking the same brand. Buttermaker is seen at various times in the film drinking Budweiser, Miller High Life, Schlitz "Kingers", Pabst Blue Ribbon, Lucky Lager, Mickey's "Big Mouth", and Coors.
