Fever Pitch, released as The Perfect Catch outside of the United States and Canada, is a Farrelly Brothers comedy film, a remake of a 1997 British film and loosely based on the Nick Hornby book Fever Pitch
(while the book and 1997 film are about Football, this version is about baseball). The film opened in theaters on April 8, 2005.

Plot

Fever Pitch stars Jimmy Fallon as Ben Wrightman, a 30-year-old schoolteacher and life-long Red Sox fan courting Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore) during the course of the 2004 Major League Baseball season. Meeks, a baseball neophyte, cannot understand Wrightman's obsession with the team; Wrightman, meanwhile, gears up for the postseason while reconciling his conflicting interests: love and sports.

Trivia

Reportedly the film's ending was rewritten at least once as the real-life Red Sox won the World Series for the first time in 86 years . Several scenes were shot on location at Fenway Park before, during, and after several home games in the 2004 season, and one scene was shot on the field at Busch Stadium, moments after the Red Sox's final win over the Cardinals .
