God Bless Retrosheet
In the film In the Bedroom, there are two scenes in which characters listen to Boston Red Sox radio broadcasts. Only a truly obsessive baseball fan would bother to figure out exactly which games they were. So let me get started!
In the opening scene, I believe the radio is playing the Boston-Toronto game from May 16, 2000. The announcer can be heard saying, “In the last of the ninth inning, it’s the Boston Red Sox 6 and the Toronto Bluejays 4″, which matches the line score in the link.
Later in the movie, we hear an excerpt from the Atlanta-Boston interleague game of July 9, 2000. I’d call this a flaw, since this scene clearly takes place on Labor Day.
Why am I up past midnight looking up Retrosheet links?
