Other anecdotes from the softball game:

  • Magnum's team was called "The Paddlers". They wore a King Kamehameha Club cap, and the letters "KKC" appeared on the back of their blue-white jerseys.
  • Magnum played shortstop and hits left-handed, but throws right-handed. He wore #14.
  • T.C. played first base and hits and throws left-handed. He wore #32.
  • Rick played catcher, then later pitcher, and he hits and throws right-handed. He wore #Seven.
  • Magnum chews Red Man smokeless tobacco when playing.
  • Magnum made an ultra-rare 6-3 triple play to get Rick out of a jam.
  • Higgins is the third base coach (despite the fact that he hates the game).
