** As mentioned on the main page, the book had Creator/JDSalinger be the author that Ray kidnaps, and the producers changed it after Salinger threatened to sue. But that was only partially the reason why the character of Terrence Mann was created: even without the lawsuit threats, the producers felt that the [[SmallReferencePools the target audience for the movie (mostly baseball fans) wouldn't know who Salinger was or why Ray had to go out and kidnap him]] and that fans of Salinger probably wouldn't care about a sports movie, and decided that [[TropesAreTools creating a fictional author would work better for the story]]. (Considering that after Salinger's death original author W.P. Kinsella noted [[AluminumChristmasTrees many of his readers assumed that Salinger was a fictional character to begin with]], you can say it was a pretty good call).
