All of the World Series facts were true in this film. The Mets' Cleon Jones really did get hit on the shoe with a pitched ball. At first the umpire didn't award him first base, but when Mets manager Gil Hodges showed him the shoe polish on the ball, the umpire changed his call and awarded him first base. It became known as the "Shoe Polish Incident".
