• The story was inspired by the article "Resurrecting the Champ" by J.R. Moehringer which appeared in the Los Angeles Times Magazine in 1997; although the article indeed purportedly focused on Bob Satterfield, there are various other differences with the true story. Moehringer, who had already won a Pulitzer Prize, had no children, and his father was not well-known though he did abandon his family when the writer was an infant.
