Four things you didn’t know about ‘Schitt’s Creek’ baseball game episode

“Schitt’s Creek” is signing off, unfortunately, for the final time on April 4.

The Canadian TELEVISION show concentrates on the uber-rich Rose family– Johnny, Moira and their 2 adult children David and Alexis– who lose all their money due to the fact that of a dubious businessmanager They are required to transfer to Schitt’s Creek, a town Johnny purchased as a joke for David years earlier.

While the Roses are the farthest thing from being an athletic family, the show’s developers, father-son duo Eugene and Dan Levy, who play Johnny and David, respectively, did have one baseball- associated episode in Season 5.

Part of the facility of the episode, “The M.V.P,” has David and Johnny added as players on opposite teams on the early morning of the championship so neither team needs to surrender. David, who obviously is really anti-playing, matches up for Patrick while Johnny can not assist however be a helpful daddy regardless of being on the other team.

Here are four things you might not know about the episode.

Dan Levy can in fact play

The facility of the episode came about after Levy went to co-star Noah Reid’s (who plays David’s bride-to-be Patrick) yearly baseballgame

“I went thinking, this is going to be fun, I’m not going to play, I’ll watch and cheer people on,” Levy stated in the shows Behind the Episode video. “I ended up playing.”

Levy played little league as a kid, and according to Reid in the clip below, he had at least four hits in the game.

Johnny didn’t struck David with the toss

Early in the episode, Johnny raises that David in fact played baseball as a kid and “holds the little league record for most times hit by a ball.”

In The Future, David is struck in the back by aball Eugene Levy, who is a big Toronto Blue Jays fan, exposes below it was the assistant director George that consistently struck David and not him. Dan Levy stated he did the scene a minimum of 25 times and there’s a great montage of him consistently getting struck in the video below (scroll ahead to 1: 48 to see its epicness).

The town altered its baseball team’s name

While Schitt’s Creek’ s specific place is unidentified, it is shot in the town of Goodwood, Ont. According to Eugene Levy, the town likes having the show movie there, a lot so that the town’s baseball team altered its name throughout their season in honor of the show.

“They had a minor league kind of baseball team there that actually changed their name from the Goodwood Bears to the Schitt’s Creek Bears for an entire month,” he informed NPR back in 2015.

‘ Flying Latkes’ do exist

When Johnny strolls in on Ronnie and Roland talking about how they need a gamer, he states he “used to play a little ball in my day.” That team? His Hebrew school’s Flying Latkes baseball team.

Although we do not in fact know the origin of the name on the show, “The Flying Latke” is in fact a children’s book composed by Arthur Yorinks. The book was adjusted into a play which Theatermania refers to as, “the story of young Danny Silverstein and his ‘meshugge’ family”– do we see a connection here?– “as they celebrate the first night of Chanukah. Their holiday food fight sends a latke sailing out the window and over the city, causing a UFO frenzy that traps the Silversteins in their home with their extended family visiting and nothing but latkes to eat.”
