Trivia
Although most of the Hebrew spoken or sung was in Ashkenazic (shabbos, not Shabbat), the rabbi said one of the prayers in Sephardic (ah-doe-nigh, not ah-doe-noy).

Crazy credits
During the end credits we see the Yankles riding the bus, lip-synching the song Sweeter Than Kosher Wine (by Zev Brooks).

Not Great, but Not Bad either

This movie is about a Jewish baseball team. Their coach trying to resurrect his image after a botched play cost his team a championship. He is given the chance to teach these Orthodox Jews the National pastime. It is not a great movie and the acting is just so so, but it is a cute movie worth watching one time.
