Incorrect trivia....

In the trivia section for this movie, it states the following....

"Lt. Kaffee is watching a baseball game at his home after returning from Cuba. The sports announcer that can be heard on the TV is that of legendary San Diego Padres radio announcer Jerry Coleman, himself a former Marine officer and aviator who served in WWII and Korea. The ballgame shown was played on May 23, 1991 in Atlanta. The home run shown, hit by David Justice off Padre pitcher Steve Rosenberg, tied the game in the bottom of the 10th inning. The Padres won the game 11-10 in 12 innings (info from Baseball-Reference). "

Only problem there is that the announcer for the game can be heard mentioning Cal Ripken and Kirby Pucket (of the Orioles and Twins respectively) and can also be heard stating that the Orioles have ended the Twins steak. That said, there is no way the game was in Atlanta, nor did it involve the Padres or Braves.

He watches a baseball game in two scenes. One is the Braves/Padres game, the other is the Twins/Orioles game.

This was earthshaking news,, and then not so much.

Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
