Awesomeness by Analysis: How Billy wins over the reasonably skeptical front office in claiming the managerial spot. He asks Mac to give him a hypothetical late-game scenario vs. the Yankees, complete with who has home-field, who's pitching and warming up, and where the Twins are in the lineup, then proceeds to dismantle Mac in how to proceed through the inning, noting that Mac's strategy actively hurts their chances to win.

Artistic License – Sports: Subverted. Billy and his assistants are well aware of the rule the prevents team owners from also being the manager, but they manage to convince the Commissioner of Baseball to ignore it and allow him to take the job anyway (partly because they can't find a grown man who wants to work for a kid). Actually, the rule does say an owner can manage a team if and only if the Commissioner approves, so this is more Shown Their Work that they got his permission.
