Walter Walker is in studio records/casting call lists for this movie in the role of "Mr. Platt," but that role was played by Frederick Burton. Also in the records were Frank Coghlan Jr. in the role of "Mascot's Pal" and Andy Devine, both of whom were not seen in the film.
Joe E. Brown was a true baseball fan, and this was the first of his "baseball trilogy" - the other two films being Elmer, the Great (1933) and Alibi Ike (1935). He passed along his love of baseball to his son Joe L. Brown, who was the general manager of the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1955 to 1976, winning two World Series championships in 1960 and 1971.
Despite the unusual title, this film is not related to Fireman Save My Child (1918), Fireman, Save My Child (1927), or Fireman Save My Child (1954).
This film has been preserved by the Library of Congress.
