Mistakes/Goofs

  • Goof (factual errors): A young Lincoln and his father attend a batting practice for the Chicago Cubs. His father speaks of a relief pitcher who played for the Cubs, William Prall. In the scene, Prall is wearing number 11, but in reality, Prall, who actually played for the Cubs in 1975, wore number 37. Don Kessinger, an outfielder, wore number 11.
  • Goof (factual errors): When Lincoln is dreaming about when his dad took him to see the Cubs play at Wrigley Field, his dad tells him to focus on his favorite player, a pitcher. In his dream, Lincoln recalls seeing the player's name on the back of the jersey. Cubs Home Uniforms did not have last names on the backs of their jerseys until 1992.
  • Goof (miscellaneous): Lincoln Burrows was scheduled to be executed on May 11 however there was a stay of execution for two weeks. Sometime between May 11 and May 28 Michael comes out of a tunnel into the prison yard and there is a few inches of snow on the ground and it is snowing - in late spring.
  • Goof (factual errors): It's not possible to fake dental records by pulling somebodies teeth. They would have to be implanted. A dentist or forensic person would see that, especially in a body with advanced decomposition.
