Anachronisms: At the water pump, Jonsey asks Sofie is he ever taught her how to throw a slider. However, in 1934, that pitch was called a "nickel curve." The term "slider" wasn't consistently used until the 1940s.

Quotes:

Reverend Norman Balthus: [holding a newspaper with Babe Ruth on the front page] In desperate times the good lord looks over the flock and chooses one man to inspire the multitudes. One man to accomplish the impossible, one man to offer hope where there was only hopelessness. And who are we to judge the wisdom of the almighty?
