* ArtisticLicenseSports: A lot of actually baseball rules are ignored in this episode. For starters, it is impossible for one to get twenty-seven outs at once, let alone before either side actually scores a run. Furthermore, regardless of how talented a Little League team might be, they wouldn't under any circumstances be paired up to play against a professional team. And of course, a Little League team cannot be formed from kids younger than three.
