* HilariousInHindsight: When ''Shoeless Joe'' was being adapted into film, [[ExecutiveMeddling the studio changed it to]] ''Film/FieldOfDreams'' for fear that people would think it was about a hobo. Director Phillip Alden Robinson, upset, called Kinsella to tell him the news, and, not telling him the new title, had this conversation:
-->'''Robinson''': They want to change the name from "Shoeless Joe."\\
'''Kinsella''': Oh that's alright, that wasn't even my title. That was the publisher's title.\\
'''Robinson''': What was your title?\\
'''Kinsella''': "Dream Field."

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: Perhaps unsurprisingly for a film about tradition, family, and baseball, but the movie was also a hit in Japan, where it managed to win three separate awards for Best Foreign Language film.

Some try to explain this by saying Shoeless Joe only brought back fellow Black Sox players, but that doesn't explain Moonlight Graham or [[spoiler: Ray's dad]]. Later, Shoeless Joe brings Mel Ott and other players who were never blacklisted, including Gil Hodges, who played alongside UsefulNotes/JackieRobinson, the man who ''reintegrated the sport''.
