I just played my home opener at Wrigley and when Rolen hit a liner into the gap the ball disappeared into the ivy. 
Not sure if it can be completely lost, but I did a double take when I saw the ball roll in there, glad I remembered where it was, heh. I also really liked the opening to the game, it showed the famous red Wrigley Field sign and fans walking into the stadium, man I miss living in Chicago.
Um, let's see, other little things:
-Jon & Joe breaking down the three strikes leading to the strikeout.
-Showing Derrek Lee's homer in the 4th inning when he came up to bat again in the 6th inning.
-Cool fan heckling, one I liked so far was one aimed at Melvin Mora something along the lines of "Hey Melvin, I'd like to see some Mora ya striking out!".
-When runners get into scoring position and a big hitter comes up, if you don't have an ace on the mound the pitcher will be rattled and pitching becomes pretty difficult. Jon & Joe also make note of this, and you can even call a mound visit to try and calm the pitcher down.
-AI managers arguing a fair/foul call, pretty awesome because I've never seen that before in a game.
-Tons and tons of stat tracking, reminds me of High Heat.
-The owner in GM Mode told me to cut a crappy pitcher (Scott Eyre) with a huge contract and for me to resign Prior, good thing his injury troubles don't translate into video games.
I'll find more, because I'm seeing new ones each game.
