The "Hidden Ball Trick" that the Cubs use near the end of the movie would not have actually resulted in an out based on MLB rules. This is because a mound visit is considered a timeout from play, which does not start up again until the pitcher has the ball while standing on the rubber on the mound. Since the first baseman had the ball after the mound meeting was done, the timeout had not officially ended, meaning he would not be able to tag the runner at first out.
