 FACT: At the end of the movie, during the World Series, Steve  Nebraska is at the plate as a batter. Since this game takes place at  Yankee Stadium, the home of an American League team, a designated  hitter would have been at the plate instead. Granted, the manager  can still choose to allow Nebraska to hit for himself, but due to  his unproven batting skills in the Majors, the manager would almost  certainly have another player hit for him.
