    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The actual ball hit by Bill Mazeroski was found by a 14-year-old boy named Andy Jerpe, who subsequently lost it when his buddies talked him into using it for a sandlot game, and it was hit into some tall grass and never found.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the movie when the boy catches the Mazeroski home run that won the 1960 World Series, it was a Rawlings baseball. Rawlings did not begin supplying baseballs to the major leagues until around 1970. The home run ball would have been a Spalding baseball in 1960.
    • Quotes

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: [referring to her dead husband's business dealings] ... and what kind of business would that be, Herr Buchner?

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: Why... ink.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Ink?

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: [firmly] Ink. We make ink for ballpoint pens.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Thats all? Just ink?

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: [after Bruchner makes a shrugging motion with his hands] 34,000 marks - 25,000 marks, and look - look here's another one for fifteen.

      Herr Bruchner, EDK Executive: Ink, Frau Miller... ink is the true life blood of a civilization.

      Elizabeth 'Bessie' Faro: Good point.

    OK Mystery with lovely scenery

    Not sure why this movie rates so bad with my fellow IMDB members.

    I just watched it and found it to be a pleasant diversion. It has interesting locations and the gorgeous Andie McDowell to brighten up the scenery. True, the mystery is not that much, and the ending leaves somewhat to be desired, but this movie is not as terrible as its IMDB rating suggests. The baseball card keys are somewhat unique and I'm an old Pittsburgh Pirate fan--which made it a little more interesting to me. Anyway, give this movie a chance when you have time. 6/10
