Corrected entry: During the second baseball game, Simon's baseball jersey is nicely tucked in so that you can see only the top half of his number, 8. When the third pitch is thrown and while Simon is hitting the ball, all of Simon's number 8 is fully visible on his shirt.
Simon Birch (1998)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Mark Steven Johnson
Starring: Jim Carrey, Oliver Platt, Ashley Judd, David Strathairn, Joseph Mazzello, Ian Michael Smith
Continuity mistake: When Rebecca Wenteworth is walking towards the baseball diamond, she is looking behind her and waving. When she gets hit in the head with the ball, it's on the wrong side of the face. She should have been hit on the left side of the face.
Simon: I said, what does coffee and donuts have to do with God?
Rev. Russell: They're merely refreshments so people can socialize and talk about up coming events.
Simon: Who ever said church needs a continental breakfast?
Question: Why did the mom's boyfriend Ben adopt Joe? Shouldn't the minister have adopted Joe seeing as he was the boy's father?
Answer: For the reverend to admit to being Joe's father, meaning he not only had a child out of wedlock but knowingly abandoned him, would destroy him. Ben knew him and cared about him and would be able to take care of him.

Correction: In between pitches, Simon could have very possibly moved causing his shirt to become untucked, thereby showing more of the 8 on his jersey.
