Talk:The Rookie (2002 film)

City that Jimmy Morris lives in
What is the small town that Jimmy Morris and his family live in?

Discrepancy with commentary track of DVD of movie.
I deleted the line "After making his MLB debut, the film shows him giving the game ball to his dad. In reality, he never did. Morris has consistently had a poor relationship with his father." The commentary track on the DVD claims he did in fact give it to his dad. If this is to be reinstated, it needs to be referenced. I also deleted "The deal involving the Owls reaching the District Playoffs was never a real deal but a joke among the players. 3 teams per district could move into the play-offs and only 3 schools in the district Reagan County was in, at the time, had baseball teams. Thus every team in the district moved into the play-offs, regardless of their win-loss record." The deal described in the movie is not that the team should reach the playoffs, but win them, and surely only one team at a time could do that.--Barend (talk) 14:45, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Dominant Hand?
What hand does Dennis Quaid use dominantly? Jim Morris, the character was left-handed, so Quaid had to throw with that hand, but is he actually left-handed? Or did he practice using his left-hand when he was really right-handed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.14.217.129 (talk) 19:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter. If you check out 61*, you'll see that left handed pitching is easily filmed by reversing the uniform and filming the mirror image. MMetro (talk) 12:41, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
