Drew & Jimmy Fallon on Original Ending of “Fever Pitch” and Filming at the World Series

Drew: The original ending was the Red Sox lost because they hadn't won in 81 years.

Jimmy: 86 years.

Drew: Really?

Jimmy: 86 years. What happened? The real original ending was we were dressed as old people in the future. We found our way and they finally win the World Series in the future. As we're filming, this is baseball history, as we're filming this film, they make it into the wild card, then they make it into the playoffs. It's the most magical year.

Drew: And we happen to have cameras at every single one of these games. So we were flying down to the final game of the World Series and Fox Sports said, ‘We'll let you use our cameras. You cannot bring movie cameras to the finale.’ By the way, my boyfriend at the time, Fabrizio Moretti, he is watching the series finale of the Red Sox and there we are in the field kissing.

Jimmy: No, no one knew anything because they, they were like, ‘What movie?’ No one knows that they were doing a movie.  And we asked Fox, we said, ‘Don't air if they end up doing, don't air any of this footage because we're just gonna use it in the film’ and they go, ‘Yeah sure.’ But then they're nervous so they just cut to us.

Drew: Kissing on the mound. I still have the sand from the mound.

Jimmy: My baseball hat that I had made filthy because any real baseball fan has a dirty hat that they've had since high school. It's disgusting and has salt stains. That hat is in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Drew: You just had your 50th birthday.

Jimmy: I did.

Drew: And why did you decide not to do a big party?

Jimmy: Just because I don't know, I feel like the older you get, the more you just go, I just want to be with my family. So that's really all I wanted. My wife, I woke up, my wife made me this, pee wee Herman breakfast, which I've had since I was 12 years old. It's a pancake with, fried eggs for eyeballs. She does a fake Mr. T cereal, which they don't, doesn't exist anymore. And then the kids brought me over to this giant package and when I grew up, my dad had a jukebox and he got it for free from the VFW because it was broken. My dad fixed it. And so we had a jukebox in our house and then eventually it just broke again and then we just gave it away or threw it out or something. So two years ago, my friend calls Nancy and goes, ‘If you want a good gift for Jimmy, I think I saw his dad's jukebox at an electronics store.’ And, and she's like, what? And so she buys the jukebox and makes it working again. My dad's handwriting is on all the 45. Is that wild for real? If I have it, it's gorgeous. And, and one of the, one of the songs on there is, oh babe what would you say by Hurricane Smith is what we used in the movie ‘Fever Pitch.’ And it turned out to be my wife and I's one of our wedding songs.
