Footage from this episode played a key role in the exoneration of a man accused of murder when it was revealed that he was at the Dodgers game shown here at the time of the murder. This remarkable happenstance was the subject of the documentary Long Shot (2017).
The Dodger Stadium scenes were shot during a real Dodgers game using mostly telephoto lenses. Most of the Dodgers fans who appear in the background had little or no idea that a show was being filmed.
It was Jorge Garcia's performance in this episode that got him the role of Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on Lost (2004).
