 FACT: In one scene, Jim Morris Sr. gives Jims son Hunter a first  basemens mitt not knowing the difference between that and a regular  fielders glove. Jim Morris Sr. was a baseball player and was  supposed to report to training camp for the New York Mets but was  injured days before the start of camp. While this did lead to his  negative attitude towards baseball, it also means he would know the  difference between a first basemans mitt and a fielders glove.
