What's left behind the scenes
- The fictional novel by Terence Mann in the film is called “The Boat Rocker.” Many people tried to find copies of this book after watching the film, unaware that it doesn't actually exist.
- An interesting fact: Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are among the thousands of extras in the Fenway Park scene, and are also listed in the credits. More than ten years later, when Phil Alden Robinson invited Affleck to star in “Fear,” Affleck said, “Nice to be working with you again,” after which Robinson asked what the actor meant by “again,” and Affleck explained the connection.
- Archibald "Moonlight" Graham was a genuine baseball player. On June 29, 1905, he played in one game in Major League Baseball with the New York Giants. Five days later, he abandoned his dream of professional play to become a doctor.
- The film is based on the novel "Shoeless Joe," written by W.P. Kinsella, a graduate of the University of Iowa. In the novel, instead of searching for the fictional writer Terence Mann, Ray Kinsella searches for the real author of the 1960s, J.D. Salinger. In 1947, Salinger wrote a story titled "A Girl Without Flaws in the Cursed Forty-First" featuring a character named Ray Kinsella.
- In W.P. Kinsella’s novel, the main character Ray reconnects with his twin brother Richard (a subplot that did not make it into the film).
- The actual field from the film still exists in Dyersville, Iowa, approximately 20 miles west of the city of Dubuque. Downtown Dubuque was the primary location for filming most of the scenes supposedly set in Boston, including the location where Ray found Terence Mann’s apartment by the single window without a chicken hanging in it.
- W.P. Kinsella, the author of the original novel, was asked to write a review of the film for a Canadian magazine. He gave it four out of five stars for two reasons: first, he didn’t think the character of Mark was villainous enough, and second, because Gaby Hoffmann didn’t look like the daughter of Kevin Costner and Amy Madigan.
- When Ray travels to Chisholm, Minnesota in 1972 in search of Moon Graham, "The Godfather" (1972) is playing at the local cinema.
- When Ray asks Barefoot Joe what he likes most about baseball, Joe replies, "The thrill of the grass." This is the title of a 1985 collection of baseball stories by W.P. Kinsella.
