Patrick wrote:It definitely made him appear creepy, like an old satyr. I remember once an old woman looking at me the way Martin looked at that very young and attractive friend of Daphne and it chilled me to the bone, so I can sympathize.

Only thing is, Major League Baseball doesn't initially schedule games to be double-headers; they're brought about by the necessity of making up a game that was previously rained out. But back when this episode took place, the Mariners played their games in the Kingdome, which was, as its name implies, a domed stadium. So the Mariners would never have needed to play a double-header (not in Seattle, at least).

Anyway, I just spotted a nice "mistake", albeit an intentional one. In To Thine Old Self Be True, when Regan drops the groceries in the hall, the head of lettuce that comes to a stop next to Frasier's feet didn't actually come from the bag. Look closely and it was clearly "bowled" by someone off screen as the other groceries spilled out. Obviously they needed something to land right near Frasier's foot and I thought it happened just a bit too perfectly so I took a closer look. Probably been commented on before but I'd never seen it mentioned.
