Goofs: Anachronisms: In the scene where George W. Bush and his father are walking on the Texas Rangers baseball field in 1990, W. mentions that it was a mistake to have traded Sammy Sosa. However, by the end of the 1990 season Sammy Sosa had hit only 23 career home runs and no one could have known at that point that he would go on to hit over 600 in his lifetime.
