@carriemichelle322 My grandmother (d. at 91) was my best friend, too! That wasn’t always the case, but I got to live with her during quarantine. Due to shared insomnia, we ended up bonding over TV and movies. I showed her a bunch of Marvel stuff and even took her to see Black Widow once theaters started re-opening. She LOVED the complicated family dynamics (and action!), so now that’s my go-to film when I’m missing her 🥹 Bonus memory: Grandma didn’t realize that Marvel’s post-credit scenes were actually included in the theatrical showing and LOUDLY asked why “none of these other people” in our row were leaving once the movie had “ended”

The "Betty Spaghetti" reveal scene in the locker is a truly masterfully done reveal scene and it gets everyone teary eyed, the scene when we find out Shirley can't read is another great scene too.

In regards to whether Kit and Dottie talk or not when they’re older, in the beginning of the movie Dottie says she doesn’t think Kit will go to the dedication bc Kit travels a lot with her husband. So I think they just don’t get to see each other much, not bad blood or anything like that.

"There's no crying in baseball!" I love Lori Petty. It is a shame she did a number of bad movies (not this one) and fell off the map. Tank Girl (1995) was at her best, even if the rest of the movie was a disaster. Fun Fact: The screenwriters wrote the part of Ernie Capadino especially for Jon Lovitz. Action Star Fact Fact: Geena Davis really does catch a pop up behind her back. It was supposed to be done by a stunt double, but the double was having trouble. So Davis gave it a go. Sweet Karma Fact: After they bring out the Peaches for their first game, and announce all of them, they run out on the field. In the background, you can see Rosie O'Donnell trip over a wire and fall down. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: Many of the injuries and bruises in the film were real injuries that the actresses received during filming. The "strawberry" bruise Renée Coleman received on her thigh while sliding into a base remained for over a year. Historical Fact: Tom Hanks' character, Jimmy Dugan, is loosely based on real-life baseball sluggers Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson. The film portrays the league as initially unpopular and unprofitable, until demeaning gimmicks are used to attract male audiences. In reality, the league was popular and profitable from the start, largely because it played in towns in the upper Midwest that had no way of watching a live baseball game. Eventually, the league grew into a ten-team two-division league. The advent of televised baseball games in the early fifties, however, would lead to the demise in the popularity of the league. The storyline was inspired by the career of baseball legend Dottie Collins. During World War II, Collins played for the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, and pitched seventeen shutouts during her six-year career.

One of Baseball Stadium Announcers calling the game was David Lander who played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley. The Baseball Scout was played by Jon Lovitz (from Saturday Night Live). Many of his insults and funny comments weren't in the script and were adlibs by Lovitz himself.

A few bits of information for you guys. -The AAGPBL was real and ran for almost 12 years. -Mr. Harvey was modeled after old man Wrigley, the gum king. His name was Philip Knight Wrigley, and his father, William Wrigley, Jr. created the company. Thus Wrigley Field is named after the family in Chicago. -My third grade teacher went to a casting call for extras for the stadium seating scenes, and was in the film. However, I have yet to find her in the stands after 30 plus years of trying to spot her. -This film is a classic! ❤

“I wonder how many of these ladies played baseball with their grandkids” Actually one of the real life members of the league, Hellen Callaghan, played baseball with her son. His name’s Casey Candaele and he played for the Expos, Astros, and Indians in the 80s and 90s.and is currently a coach on the Blue Jays.

Men - Husbands/Fathers went off to war, leaving their families alone. Women had to take their place here at home to keep the economy running - the economy that provided everything needed to keep their men safe and win the war.

Penny Marshall directed this film. When they sent out the casting call, she said if they couldn't already play baseball, don't show up because they didn't have time to teach them to play. Tom Hanks said this is one of his favorite movies....he spent the summer playing baseball. Yes, there was a woman's baseball league.

Definitely based on a true story about the AAGPBL which lasted 11 years I believe. I had the honor of meeting 2 of the real players in the league. The league existed in a very small region of the country in factory towns that were geared up for the war. Racine Wisconsin. Rockford Illinois. Fort Wayne Indiana, South Bend Indiana. Battle Creek Michigan, Grand Rapids Michigan, and Chicago Illinois. If you look on a map the cities look really close together. But, with no interstate highways yet and riding a bus. It must have felt forever between towns.

The “shingles on the roof” probably are “little pieces of wood.” That looked like a cedar shake roof.

BTW the correct answer when you wife says, "You haven't taken me to a steak dinner" is not, "I'm sure I have" it's, "just tell me when you want to go." ;)

I love Jon Lovitz in this. He steals the show. I heard Penny Marshall the director talking about him in the film. She said he was concentrating so much a cow fell over next to him in the barn and gave birth and he didn't even notice! She said they put grapes in the cuffs of his trousers so the chickens would flock to him... The actress playing Betty Spaghetti is Penny Marshalls daughter.

Hello, " Their is no crying in baseball. " - Jimmy Duggan " Basebol has been bery,bery good to me. " - Chico Esquela

I grew up where this film was made (Racine field) and currently live in the same county as where the Rockford Peaches field was filmed in Indiana. The pride surrounding this film still exists as the field has been kept just as pristine as it was 30 years ago. Tom Hanks still talks about Southern Indiana being one of his all-time favorite places to film in.

RIP Penny Marshall. She directed such a great film here.

Did you notice carmine was one of the dancers with madonna - penny Marshall directed it - her brother gary was Mr chocolate man himself harvey and her daughter or Gary's daughter (niece) was Betty spaghetti.

There was a series of deleted scenes, but unfortunately KZread took them down. The best one was right after Marla left the train station, when they were on the train eating. The infamous "peeing" scene in the locker room was basically improvised. Penny Marshall was off-camera pouring water in a bucket from a hose and Tom just reacted to everything she did. This film was an absolute classic. And now, at 60, I still my cry eyes out every single time at the end. Every. Single. Time.

The shingles are called shake shingles and they are literally little pieces of wood. I never put any down, but my brother did when he roofed houses 1000 years ago. ( Maybe not 1000 but probably 40 years ago)

I went to Cooperstown in the late 90s and I saw the women’s exhibit… It was one wall. It’s understandable since the actual Hall of Fame is a pretty small building. But where they showed it in the movie is not where it was. That room they were in is the portrait room where they have famous baseball paintings by people like Norman Rockwell and several others. Double day field, where they played in the beginning, and end of the movie is the field that’s right next-door to the Hall of Fame. This is definitely one of my favorite movies. I’m glad you guys enjoyed it too! And the one woman that you thought looked familiar near the end of the movie was Tia Leone.

The bruise on the actresses thigh was real. Penny Marshall the director decided to put it in the film. The actress has said it took about 12 months to totally fade. The Betty Spaghetti actress is Penny Marshall’s daughter, and Mr Harvey is her brother. The actors all had to do boot camp to learn to slide etc. they practised sliding on a slip and slide. One broke a wrist doing that even before filming started. Another actress got hit in the nose by a pitch and broke her nose. I spotted a blooper in this. When she says she is going to quit the team Tom Hanks has that ‘if it wasn’t hard everyone would do it’ speech, then later after the final game Dottie introduces Jimmy to her husband like they have never met?
