I’m always amazed when people talk about great directors and proceed to leave her name out of the discussion. No one could combine humor & heart quite like her!

The player that could not read was Ann Cusack sister of Joan and John Cusack.

I think you didn't catch the significance of the African American woman with the great arm: in this era, she couldn't try out for what amounts to a major league baseball team. This would have to wait till 1947 and Jackie Robinson. But it was Penny Marshall's and the screenwriters' (Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel) nod to this injustice.

Also they represent a couple of real women who wound up playing with the men on the Negro League. In the TV show version that goes deeper into the stories of real people (and more that just represent the others) they delve more into those women’s stories. I recommend it. It’s too bad it wasn’t renewed.

@@CKaffeineIVStat Thanks for that!

The women at the beginning and end p-laying ball are actual players of the A.A.G.P.B.L.

Penny Marshall insisted all the actresses really knew how to play baseball so there'd be no "faking it." She had Rosie O'Donnell teach Madonna how to play baseball and they've been close friends in real life ever since.

Dottie and Bob reconnect in a heartwarming manner... Next scene... Jimmy: WHY AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS BUS?!!

The guy dancing wirh Madonna was Eddie Mekka. He played Carmine (aka the Big Ragoo) on Laverne and Shirley. He was an excellent Singer and Dancer. 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. Jimmy Duggan (Tom Hank's character) was based on the Real Manager of the Rockford Peaches former Star Player Jimmy Foxx. Kit (Lori Petty) has a Cult following as the title character in the movie Tank Girl. The horrible bruise on the player's leg was real. It took over a year for it to heal.

I heard him say that they put grapes in the turn up of his trousers to attract the chickens to peck him in the scene when he told the cow to shut up. Telling the cow to shut up was ad libbed. Penny Marshall said Jon Lovitz was concentrating so much on the role when they were in the barn milking the cows a cow fell over next to him and went into labour and he didn't even notice!

Rather than "there's no crying in Baseball," the simple question, "Honey, can you read?" gets me every time.;) Then there's Stilwell Angel, especially when, as a adult, identifies himself with his iconic, "You're gonna lose."

That scene at the end is the best. Showing how fast life goes by

The actress that played Betty Spaghetti is Penny Marshall's daughter

And the team owner that played Walter Harvey was her Brother.

I love your reactions. Fabulous. The woman playing Betty Spaghetti is Penny Marshalls' daughter. The big strawberry on the players thigh was real. Penny Marshall decided to put that in the film. The actress said it took almost a year to fade and left her with some nerve damage. Mr Harvey the candy bar king was played by Gary Marshall who is Penny Marshalls brother. In order to audition for the movie the actors had to already know how to play baseball as they didn't have time to train them. So if you couldn't already play you couldn't even audition. For example the actress playing Marla Hooch played softball for many years. There were several injuries to girls. The cast had to practice sliding into base, on slip and slides. One broke her wrist before they even started filming. And one got hit in the nose with the ball and broke her nose. The real players are seen at the end playing as older women. The voices were dubbed on the older main actors to make you think they were the same young actors made up to be older. Gena Davis for example dubbed her older self. They did a great job picking older actors to play the younger ones.

20:13 I have yet to see a KZreadr understand the significance of this scene. This movie takes place a few years before Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in professional baseball. That woman who threw the ball _couldn’t_ join the team.

This is my favorite baseball movie. Such a great cast, story and screenplay. And one of the most underrated soundtracks ever. The music during the final game is fantastic.

Love this movie. It's in my top ten. Field of Dreams is also one of my faves and I'm not all that into sports. I guess I have a thing for baseball.

You ladies will remember the big Ragu from Laverne and Shirley. Did you recognize Madonna's Dancing partner?

Great movie. Most of it was filmed where I live in SW Indiana. League Stadium in Huntingburg was home to the Rockford Peaches and Bosse Field in Evansville was home to the Racine Bells. I go to minor league games at Bosse which still has the Racine Bells name and other movie references in the ballpark. I took my son and his friend so we could be extras to help fill the stands in the big climactic championship game scene. We had a lot of fun.

The field the Peaches played on in Rockford, IL is still there and either has recently been renovated or is being renovated, not sure which. I grew up in Rockford and I didn’t even know about the team or the women's league until this movie came out. Then, all of a sudden, it was a big thing in that town. Jon Lovitz stole the show in this movie. He was such an ass it was too hilarious.

Continuity error. In the early scenes when Dottie and Kit are at home, in the livingroom on the coffee table, there was a copy of Life magazine on the table showing the picture of Dottie catching the ball during a split.

My grandpa was an old fashioned, misogynist conservative, but he would drive for 45 minutes to watch women's softball (they didn't wear skirts) when there was a pretty good men's AAA team much closer because he enjoyed watching the women play so much. I never forgot that. Both sets of grandparents had their serious flaws that originated from the time they came from, but every once in a while, they'd get something like that correct. It's why I think once people truly discover women's hockey, they'll really enjoy it. The Women's World Championships of Hockey and Olympic hockey tournaments are always great. My country usually wins.

I guess everyone has their favorite scenes, but mine was when the kid took Dottie to the bar and he was like, "What d'ya say we slip in the back seat, and you make a man outta me?" Dottie said, "What d'ya say I slap you around for a while?" The kid was like, "Can't we do both?" LOL

The scene where Dotty said she wanted to be traded, it wasn't because of Kit. There is a deleted scene where Jimmy tried to kiss Doty when they were alone on the field talking. And that made Doty so upset that she wanted to leave.

@@ComicPhreak Yes, it does. The narrative of the film is what happens in the actual film, as presented to the audience. By cutting the scene out of the film, the director and editor made the decision that *it didn't happen* in the story they're telling. It is, at best, a possible alternate version of the story that could have happened, but it's not the one that made it to the screen.

The movie version of "The Human Comedy", based on Saroyan's novel, and written in 1943, has a young boy in a main role who takes on a job of delivering telegrams during the war. Worth reading, worth watching.

Such a classic! It's too bad Penny cut a scene right after Marla left her dad at the train station. Absolutely hilarious scene, but sadly not on KZread anymore.

A movie to me of loss. Personal, professional, even racial, and all in between. But within the loss was always hope. Getting up and triumphing over the hopelessness and loss. The hardest part was the loss in the time of this film. WWII was great loss. The world over lost. But the loss was the price payed for the hope that we could come out ahead. It was a beautiful movie that did it just right.

So glad to see you ladies finally see this. Had been suggesting for years now and you've finally seen enough films that always used to beat it in the voted movies. I first saw it when I was about 9 years old and found out I could relate to women characters sometimes more than leading men. Very much could see me and my brothers relationship in Dottie and Kit. Even though I wasn't great at sports, being the older brother at that age it felt like a one to one.

hello , this is one on my fav madonna movie

Great Reaction To One Of My All Time Favorite Movie's, Ladies

Speaking of Baseball, watch The Sandlot. That movie is adorable.

1. Tom Hanks can play a disagreeable character after all. He's the GOAT. 2. Lori Petty/Kit character is a brat, but she could get it. 😍😋😈 3. Debra Winger was originally going to plat Dottie but backed out when Madonna was cast. 4. The death notice delivery guy was all levels of wrong. 🤬 5. Luckiest kid in the world because I'm not there to kill him. 6. I suspect Dottie dropped the ball on purpose, so Kit could have her time to shine. 7. Thank you Penny Marshall

The collision at the plate used to be legal. About 10-15 years ago they made it illegal to hit the catcher because a catcher on the SF Giants (Buster Posey) got hurt really bad on a play like that.

Thers no crying in baseball ⚾🧢

All the way

You should consider UK taskmaster! Or derry girls

26:45 “‘She kept calling your name!’ Oh, God!” That’s exactly right😂

Did you know that Geena Davies can speak Swedish?

Always love your family reactions! ❤ You should watch the movie “Thelma and Louise” (1991). Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon are great.

This has always been one of my favorite movies. Still is, though I really appreciate the new series on Amazon, which is a bit more accurate, I believe. There was a large percentage of the league that was LGBT+. Not too surprising when considering how women playing sports would have been viewed before this. This movie showed none of that though. Still, an excellent movie highlighting amazing women.

Pickle Tickle hee hee

Dotties sister

Please watch Saltburn 😂

I didn't see anyone mention the scene where a black woman threw the ball back, just to show she could. Of course the "All-American" League only included white players. Even the Armed Forces segregated black soldiers at first, and Japanese American soldiers whose families were in internment camps.

great reaction u guys should watch The Rookie when u get a chance another good baseball movie

Welcome Back Everybody, Please react Stuart Little ( 1999 ) You gonna love it

Should of bought a dog.

Fire the editor ASAP. can’t believe they cut out one of the funniest parts. When the kid and Dottie pull up to the bar and the kid hits on her.
