So, there are lots of things in movies that are unrealistic. That we pass off as "oh, it's a movie". But unless they are special effects, those things are really happenning.
For example, the 5-year old character that drops an F-bomb and shocks everyone at the dinner table. Hilarious. And it's only a movie. But in reality, there is some parent watching their 5-year old (maybe he's 8 and playing 5 - but still) and the director told their kid to swear. He maybe a child actor, but he's still a child.
Or product placement. In Talledaga Nights, they use product placement for great humor. How Powerade sponsored part of his dinnner prayer. The Applebee's juxtapositon as a gourmet meal. Rip-roaring funny. But even though they are there for the sake of humor, it's still a product placement. And I bet those companies had to pay to get in there.
What about actors playing parents and kids, and they act out a goodnight kiss. There's some dad watching a movie looking at his 10-year old daughter, and saying "Kevin Spacey just kissed my daughter!"
While I'm not denying that I am "retarded" , I do "knwo that baseball is about stats" (sic). But I believe that I was commenting on why there are different records for the AL and the NL, specifically in categories that have no connection to the impact of the designated hitter.
