Trivia:
Although the film does not explore Jackie Robinson's career with the Montreal Royals, he was nevertheless hugely popular. After leading the team to the league championship, it was noted: ..."probably the only day in history, that a black man ran from a white mob that had love, not lynching, on its mind."

Pee Wee Reese's line that someday all Dodger players might be wearing the number 42 was actually said by Dodgers outfielder Gene Hermanski in 1951.
