Film 984: BASEketball

Trivia: The line used by Joe Cooper (Trey Parker), "I forgot how much Douglas Reemer cares about kids!" is spoken with the same voice Trey uses for his South Park character Mr. Garrison.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone agreed to do this film under the assumption by the time filming began, South Park would have already been canceled. It wasn't, and having been committed to both projects, had to attend principal photography for this project during the day, and produce South Park during the night, leaving very little time for any sleep.

This is Robert Vaughn's 100th film.

The scene where Joey asks Coop to hit a homerun for him on the night of his liver operation is inspired by a real life event in which Babe Ruth visited a sick child in the hospital and promised to hit two homeruns for him.
