Short description
When Ben Wrightman, a young teacher, begins dating pretty businesswoman Lindsey Meeks, the two don't seem to have a lot of the same interests, but they fall in love, regardless. Their romance goes well until baseball season begins, and Lindsey soon realizes that Ben is completely obsessed with the Boston Red Sox. Though she tries to understand Ben's passionate team loyalty, eventually it threatens to end their otherwise happy relationship.
What's left behind the scenes
- One scene from the film was shot during a game between the Boston Red Sox and the Texas Rangers (September 4, 2004). Unfortunately, the Boston team (around which the events of the film unfold) lost that game 6-8.
- This ended the Red Sox's 10-game winning streak, and the press subsequently blamed the film crew, believing they had distracted the players.
- The next time the film crew went to a game was on September 16, 2004. The Boston team managed to win this game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 11-4. On that day, Drew Barrymore's character runs across the entire field to the stands where Jimmy Fallon is located. This scene was filmed after the game. The remaining people in the stands accordingly acted as extras.
- The final scene was filmed on October 27, 2004, at the game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Boston Red Sox. During the celebration of another success by the Boston players on the field, the main characters of the film ran out to join the players' joy.
- 17 participants of the Boston Baseball League were selected to play the roles of bench players.
- The warm jacket worn by Barrymore's character throughout the film became incredibly popular among fans of the Boston team a week before the film's premiere. There were huge lines in stores, and almost the entire batch that arrived on the market was sold out within a week.
