Is it fair to say that he had a love of alcohol? It seems that he was turned to alcohol to ease the constant physical pain that his doctors were unable to treat. Being addicted to a substance doesn't mean you love the thing your addicted to. In many cases the addict loathes their substance of addiction but they need it to maintain a semblance of a normal life. It's a vicious cycle. I just wish more people would realize that addiction is a disease.

A short-lived series of the same title based on the film aired on CBS in April 1993, with Garry Marshall, Megan Cavanagh, Tracy Reiner, Freddie Simpson, and Jon Lovitz reprising their roles. Carey Lowell took over Geena Davis's role. Only 5 of the 6 episodes made were broadcast, leaving one episode went unaired.
On August 6, 2020, Amazon Video gave a series order to reboot the series.

I had the priveledge of meeting a handful of these ladies in 1994 in Tempe AZ when i was playing a baseball tournament at Tempe Diablo Stadium. Angels spring training facility. They were such nice ladies to talk to and hear some of their history right from them. They were all in their 70's and they were signing autographs for everyone at the stadium while we played. Awesome!

I wonder why there is no women's league today. I think it would sell! Interesting note- the original 4 teams are correct, the Racine Belles, the Kenosha Comets, the Rockford Peaches, and the South Bend Blues Sox. But the Peaches did NOT make the Women's league World Series. Racine did, but lost to the Kenosha Comets. Rockford finished in last place

Can you cover the watch hand painters in Radium Girls? They used radium to paint watch hands to make them reactive. BUT they would dip the brush in radium and then lick the tip to make it more fine to paint. They all have jaw cancer, some of their jaw bones crumbled into pieces just by touching. Its a gruesome piece of forgotten history.

My neighbor collected all of the women's autographs on the League of Their Own team. It was one of his baseball quests, going to many different conventions to meet each one and sign the collection. He recently has his baseball collection for sale by consignment. It maybe still for sale if anyone is interested.

Johnson's throw DIDN'T hurt Dottie's hand, as you claim and as you even show the footage, Johnson actually throws the ball OVER Dottie and gets the ball to Ellen Sue Gotlander played by Freddie Simpson. Seriously, your researchers and writers need to get their sh! t right.

This was something you should have pulled on the Millenials and they would have eaten it up. Nobody cares now. Nobody's trying to entitle all women based on some over-the-top movie about a dozen women who happened to be in the right place at the right time.

Geena Davis's character was based on this real life person -- except that they changed her backstory, her position, how long she played, her name. Sounds like the only thing they kept was the fact that she played professional women's baseball.

The numbers were incorrect, but the rest of the uniform was accurate. They wore numbers similar to the Chicago Cubs at the time. They also had a pair of sliding shorts under their tunics, but that still didn't keep them from getting strawberries.

I'm 38 and actually saw this at the movies when it came out so I was probably around 8 I think and I still love the movie to this day. I watch it every time it's on tv. I want to see the new tv series that's more accurate to what really went on

As a fan of this movie since it's release, I never even considered Dottie dropping the ball on purpose. Now that I think about it, I think she did. The ball was in her bare hand, no way a catcher drops that by accident from their bare hand.

As well as learning some interesting facts about one of my favourite movies from when I was a teenager, I now also know where Wrigley's P. K. chewing gum, a ubiquitous brand from when I was young, possibly got its name from.

Madonna movies: Come on man, we all loved Dick Tracy, not everybody will admit it though. Did Jimmy really make the move to scratch his balls for a half hour in the fifth because anything worth doing is worth doing right though?

AWESOME! I love these facts, I don't think they're weird at all! Knowing how life was, we can understand the rules, what is real shocking is that there are no longer contracts for women in professional sports (meaning mixed)

There's that one scene where the officer from the military comes in with the letter that someone's husband was killed and that room goes from lively and vibrant to dead calm.
That scene gets me every time.

I'd like to see them play but I probably wouldn't be allowed in unless there was a colored section in the stands. I love me some baseball so just keep the beer flowing!

Rockford, IL (Home of the Peaches) is my hometown. The ticket booth for the Rockford Peaches stadium still stands on the Southside of the city. This is a dope episode.
