c.		A lot of the Yankee hitters use actual Yankee stats from the 1998 season. An example is Matt Crane, the pinch hitter to lead off the ninth. He was hitting .373 with 10 HRs and 27 RBIs. These were Shane Spencers stats in 1998. Davis Birch used Paul ONeils stats.
d.		Jerome Robbins propensity for filming and re-filming scenes in his quest for perfection led to the movie going over budget and falling behind schedule. Robbins was fired by Mirisch Pictures, the production company, when shooting was about 60% finished, and director Robert Wise completed the filming alone (the original arrangement had been for Robbins to direct all of the song-and-dance sequences and Wise to direct everything else).
