*The episode title is a pun on the title of the non-fiction book by Michael Lewis.

*The managers Lisa incorrectly thought to be female are Connie Mack (Cornelius McGillicuddy Sr.), Sandy Alomar (Santos Alomar Sr.), Terry Francona (Terrance Jonathan Francona) and Pinky Higgins (Michael Franklin Higgins), the latter of which also went by the more masculine nicknames Mike and Frank.
