Dan Castellaneta, the actor who plays coach Brian Trenberth, is muchh better known as the voice of Homer Simpson and other characters on The Simpsons. Once this is known, however, you may be able to hear Homer in a few of Brian's exclamations. He reprises this character four seasons later in the basketball episode, "It's Supposed to be Fun."

Ray: Deb, I think my mom needs help with the kids.
Debra: I'll go. Oh, she's stuck. Who wears high heels in a sandbox? (edit) Marie: You know what you should do, Raymond? You're a big sports columnist. You should do a column on T-ball for Newsday.
Ray: Yeah, sure. Right after my article on "running through the sprinkler." (edit) Debra: You can never make a scene because God forbid, somebody doesn't like you.
Ray: Wait a minute. So I'm likable. Isn't that why you like me?
Debra: I love you, I have to like you. (edit) Ray: Here! Are these healthy enough for you? Plantains! You couldn't just put bananas on the list, huh? I ate two of these before I found out you gotta COOK 'EM! (edit) Ray: (singing his second verse of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame") My wife Debra is SO nice, and she's real pretty too! She's sexy, she's skinny, her breath is real good... We don't have as much sex as we should. (edit)

This episode's lunch special is a garden salad. (edit) Ray puts the snacks in a blue bag. But when they get to the field, the snacks are in a different bag. (edit)

Take Me Out to the Ball Game: Ray sings perhaps the most famous baseball song of all time. It is sung every game midway through the seventh inning, which is known as "The Seventh Inning Stretch." (edit)
