I've been to the baseball hall of fame and have seen the section for the women's league. Its quite inspiring. Not a bad comparison of movie to real life. I think its just easier for them to create a character and set it in the time than to try to dig up one person's entire story for a movie. I think they had them pitch overhand in the movie to just signify what it became in a short time and it did show them teaching the ladies how to pitch overhand in the tryout montage. Its ok if it isn't 100% historically accurate, its still a good movie in my opinion, and very well made. An underrated classic
My great aunt was beans risinger....
FYI: the scenes of the tryouts were in fact shot in Wrigley Field. You can tell from the ivy on the outfield wall. Great movie.
I truly enjoy this film movie
Well done, thank you! My son and I enjoyed listening and the many comparisons to money yesterday versus today as well as the comparison of the male versus the female's averages. Nice historical perspectives. Unfortunate the sexism that took place, but these women I am sure loved playing ball.
Very well done, I was captivated! We’re counting down to the 75th Anniversary! Looking forward to the new A League of their Own TV series on Amazon.
Love this story and all these great people
How many teams were there really? 120 games vs 3 other teams?
I enjoyed it, and listen to it twice.
too long intro ... but after 5 or 6 minutes he gets going, Loved the rest! Except the constant ads.
Skip to 3:40
You talked way too much about stuff that had nothing to do with the movie. I lost interest 5 minutes in.
If you'd continued to listen you'd learn that everything the episode has something to do with either the movie or the true story in history. :) But thank you for giving it a shot!
That sounds nothing like Franklin D Roosevelt!!! I am calling bullshit!!
I lasted 6 minutes you don’t half waffle on I suggest getting straight to the point next time 🙄
Thanks for listening!
You can steal bases in softball now. They couldn’t then.
This was softball!
Omg you repeated and drag out a story...gave up listening soz
Fuck you Ger!!!!
What the hell am I watching here!???
lol
funny moon.
Too long
You're judging the 1940s by 2021 standards. Disappointing.
Guess black women didn't want to play
Quincy Lockett they did. They claim black women weren't as good. A few tried out and didn't make it.
They didn't want black women to play because of segregation, just like black service members at the time were treated as inferior despite proving otherwise.
