Now you’re gonna come and tell us all your “GREAT AUNT” played here because you fool actually thought this movie was filmed in the 30’s?

Jeffrey Jones and actually that’s the one thing about this movie that some former AAGPBL players apparently took issue with was the portrayal of Jimmy Dugan. The women who played for the real life Jimmie Foxx say that he was never anything but a gentleman with them. It is true that Foxx did struggle with alcohol issues after his playing days were over, but according to his players he never behaved in the rude and abrasive manner in which Dugan often does here. Obviously artistic license to give Tom Hanks a more memorable character, but some felt it was disrespectful to Foxx.

I think that will be debated until the end of time. ETA: I have a hard time believing that Dottie would deliberately drop the ball. That would have been pretty disrespectful to Jimmy and the girls with whom she had formed a tight bond and who had busted their tails all season. Baseball simply wasn't as important to Dottie as it was to Kit, and Kit fought for her big moment with all she had.

I loved the happy ending. While a few of the characters had passed away, the reunion of the two sisters in the end was beautiful. It’s a great way to not only close one chapter in their lives, but also to show that they both were still alive and well after all those years. I’m sure afterwards they would probably spend time telling their grandkids all their exciting baseball stories because now they were seen as celebrities to these youngsters. The old ladies who they used to see as “Grandma” who were from “the Old days” were now people who their kids could brag about to their friends. Their legacy would live on!

Must have been summer of 1992 or 1993 but my mom and I were house sitting way up in the mountains. I was a kid. There was a TV with no service, a VHS player, and 3 movies. A League of Their Own, Demolition Man, and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I watched those 3 movies about 100 times each. Still love them to this day. There was also one CD and a CD Player. It was Reba McEntire's Greatest Hits Vol II, to this day I'm a huge Reba fan.

Always thought this film was an absolute masterpiece and it still is. This ending scene where they all reunite is emotional. For me though, This Movie and Field of Dreams are two of the most iconic and magnificent baseball movies I have ever seen and am glad that both have been selected for preservation in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being deemed "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant". Both reflect so much of American Culture.
