Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the name of the Indians' general manager?

Answer: Charlie Donovan

Played by Charles Cyphers, Donovan is hired by Rachel Phelps to be the GM. He has the best intentions, although he finds out she wants the Indians to finish last so she can relocate them to Miami. Anytime Charlie shows excitement, Rachel always tells him to settle down, until he finally blows a raspberry at her in the one-game playoff.
2. Which of these peppers is used by Eddie Harris to doctor his pitches?

Answer: Jalapeno pepper

Eddie Harris says that he sticks the jalapeno pepper up his nose and wipes it if necessary. Rick Vaughn, repulsed, asks, "You put snot on the ball?" Harris says that his arm doesn't have enough juice to it anymore.
3. In which Arizona city does the team play spring training?

Answer: Tucson

When Jake Taylor's taxi pulls up, we see the name "Tucson" on the top in an advertisement. Additionally, the topography indicates a desert environment. The Cleveland Indians trained at Hi Corbett Field in Tucson from 1945 until 1992.
4. Which of these players was not originally invited to camp?

Answer: Willie Mays Hayes

Two security guards note that he wasn't invited and dump his bed on the outskirts of the ballpark. Thinking he's been cut, Hayes makes the team by out-sprinting two other Indians players.
5. Who is Pepper Leach?

Answer: Assistant coach

Pepper Leach is shown hitting fungoes to Roger Dorn and later delivering a bucket of KFC to Pedro Cerrano. He also does various odd jobs for manager Lou Brown.
6. What is the name of the Indians' play-by-play announcer?

Answer: Harry Doyle

Played brilliantly by Milwaukee Brewers play-by-play man Bob Uecker, Harry Doyle is an alcoholic, sarcastic announcer who loves the Indians but also loves insulting them whenever he gets the chance. He makes humorous, off-color remarks throughout the film.
7. The number that Lynn gives to Jake Taylor turns out to be the number for a company endorsing what?

Answer: Sheet metal

As Jake tries to call Lynn, a man on the other end responds, "You've reached Cuyahoga Sheet Metal." Jake asks if Lynn is working there, but is not surprised when the man on the other end tells him "no". Lynn is still furious about Jake's philandering on the road, and refuses to forgive him, although she still does have feelings for him.
8. The team does a commercial for what credit card?

Answer: American Express

During the commercial, the team wears tuxedos and their caps, stating, "Hello. We're a major league baseball team!" Willie Mays Hayes slides into home, saying, "The American Express Card - don't steal home without it!" A funny sight gag is that Rick Vaughn has the sleeves of his tuxedo cut off.
9. Which player hits a home run for the Yankees in the one-game playoff?

Answer: Burton

Although Heywood is the Triple Crown winner, it's Burton who reaches Eddie Harris for a two-run home run in the seventh inning. Burton, a left-handed batter, gives the Yankees a 2-0 lead before Pedro Cerrano ties the game with a home run of his own. All of the other names are featured Yankee players: Springer had been picked off earlier by Jake Taylor, and Harry Doyle mentions that Eddie Harris had given Cheevers a 3-0 count before walking him.
10. Which of these literary works is not serialized as a comic book in the film?

Answer: The Red Badge of Courage

Jake proves his honesty to Lynn by finally reading "Moby Dick" and correctly answering a question asked by her. Roger Dorn, who has an antagonistic relationship with just about everyone, offers to trade Rick Vaughn "Song of Hiawatha" for "Crime and Punishment."
