The camera captured the man dancing lightly to the rhythm on home base, and the spectators in the stands also surrendered their bodies to the rhythm, smiling as they watched the man's antics. Coach Larry (Robert Uhl), who was watching his performance from the bench, told the manager, ``Max is the best,'' and a public announcement announced, ``A round of applause for Max Patkin, the greatest clown in baseball.'' The man, "Max," receives applause from the audience.

When called upon, he would rush to any minor league team or stadium to perform on the undercard of a game. The important thing is that it was in the minor leagues, not the major leagues. This is because not only the size of the baseball field, but also the appearance of Max makes us realize that the movie is set in the minor leagues.

This suggests that the rules of baseball are not that important, even though the game scenes are depicted many times.
