Fun Facts: The drills that that Reggie Jackson used for the boys were actual drills he did as a kid.

 

After their first game, David Spade walks out of the field with the other two wearing his sunglasses. This is the only scene where “Richie” wears sunglasses, because the director didn’t allow the character to wear them. However, in this scene, he had forgotten to take his glasses off after being backstage and the director thought that the take was so good, he didn’t bother re-doing the take.

 

In an interview with Howard Stern, Adam Sandler said he specifically cast Spade and Schneider to force them to work together in order to smooth over a rift that the two had with each other.

 

Summary: Three guys formed a three men team to play in the children’s baseball league.

 

The Review: Like Happy Gilmore, Dugan has done another sports comedy. I basically say that Jon Heder’s performance hit a home run, the rest, is ok. The climax of course, is pretty confusing. This film is not out of the park but it did reach double base.
