A League Of Their Own (1992) "This Used to be my Playground"
In the farm of Oregon Dottie Henson and Kit Keller are working on the farm. Sisters that do love each other, except when it comes to baseball. Kit wants to play in the league but is upset to hear that it is Dottie who is chosen to play for the AAPGL. (All American Pro Girls League) Dottie refuses to play unless Kit can come along. AAPGL was only made because of the World War II and all of the man were in the war. Along the way to the stadium they meet Marla Hooch who is a great hitter, but to most people not the prettiest girl. When they are going to try out they meet Doris and Mae because Doris threw a baseball at Dottie who caught it impressing Doris. They girls find out their new manager is Jimmy Dugan. Jimmy Dugan drinks a lot and is the worst manager until Dottie get through to him and he becomes a better person. Miss Cuthbert makes sure the rules are followed, no boys, no drinking or smoking until Mae poisons her meal. The girls go to party and Marla who had been overlooked a lot is noticed by a guy named Nelson. Dottie's husband Bob is in the army and when news comes that a man in the army has been killed it turns out to be Betty Spaghetti's husband. After awhile, Kit feels that once again like at home she is behind Dottie's shadow. Dottie notices it too and asks to be transferred to another team. Of course Mr. Lovitz doesn't want the best player to be transferred so he has Kit transferred to Racine. Kit feels that Dottie did this on purpose. Kit plays for the Racine while Dottie plays for Rockford. In the final scene Dottie is crashed into by Kit and she drops the ball, letting Racine win, making Kit have her own stardom instead of being in Dottie's shadow. The girls have a reunion and they remember the fun they had together. Written by SilverMoonSparkling Rockford Peaches * Tom Hanks - Jimmy Dugan (manager). The character was loosely based on real-life Baseball Hall of Fame player Jimmie Foxx. * Geena Davis - Dottie Hinson (catcher). Debra Winger was originally set to play the lead, but dropped out after Madonna signed on.[2] * Lori Petty - Kit Keller (pitcher). Moira Kelly was chosen to play the part, but suffered an injury during the filming of The Cutting Edge. * Anne Ramsay - Helen Haley (first base). Her baseball double was NCAA player Julie Croteau. * Megan Cavanagh - Marla Hooch (second base) * Rosie O'Donnell - Doris Murphy (third base) * Freddie Simpson - Ellen Sue Gotlander (shortstop/pitcher) * Tracy Reiner, daughter of director Penny Marshall and stepdaughter of Rob Reiner - Betty "Spaghetti" Horn (left field) * Madonna - Mae ("All-the-way Mae") Mordabito (center field). * Bitty Schram - Evelyn Gardner (right field) * Renée Coleman - Alice "Skeeter" Gaspers (left field/center field/catcher) (as Renee Coleman) * Ann Cusack - Shirley Baker (left field) * Robin Knight - 'Beans' Babbitt (shortstop) * Patti Pelton - Marbleann Wilkinson (second base) * Kelli Simpkins - Beverly Dixon (outfield) Peaches Fans 1) ~Unfaithful~ 2) then you must kiss me 3)PiCkLeS4dAwSoN 4) Gabriela 5) sweetdaisy 6) California_ here_ I _come 7) Laurababora 8) Burning Up A Sun 9) BucsDM 10) BlueEyes0006 11) rossfangirl86 12) msstock87 __________________

Kit is my favourite character in the movie because I can relate to her. I always wanted Dottie and Jimmy to end up together, you could tell he had feelings for her. __________________

Ooh - add me please! This is one of my favorite movies! I agree that Dottie and Jimmy had a ton of chemistry. The movie really seems to specialize in bitterwseet endings b/c I wanted Dottie and Jimmy to end up together, although I didn't necessarily want her to just leave Bob....and then there was the end where you wanted Dottie and the Peaches to win but then Kit deserved her moment too.

Kit was so annoying!
I love this movie, my favorite thing ever is when they are doing the news piece on each of the girls, talking about their beauty and whatnot. Then they show Marla Hooch waving at the camera like 50 yards away, and they just say "what a hitter!" hahaha poor gal |
