The flashback to the past during Squints's "Legend of the Beast" story contradicts what is later seen in the present when the boys meet Mr. Mertle for the first time. He's black while in the flashback, he's white, and he's blind, while he clearly isn't in Squint's story. Perhaps most contradictory of all is the fact that Herb Muller, who plays Mertle as a 'young man' is actually two to three years older than James Earl Jones. However, what is shown of him in the flashback is most likely Squints visualizing the story for himself as he tells it. Plus, his notion that it was dangerous to ask Mr. Mertle to get the ball turned out to be completely false, which pops a lot of holes in his credibility.
