A League of Their Own

Post Reply New Topic

I can't get this out of my head. It has seemed to replace Benny & Joon for now. Now I have decided to do fanfiction about the movie. I have several ideas. What if it was Dottie who lost her husband instead of Betty. It is season 2 and the Racine Belles get a player on their team that is socially awkward and she comes off as self centered and rude and she has some horrible habits, crotch digging, booger eating and she has meltdowns, especially when she can't shower at eight. Kit gets to know her and sees she is just a social moron, not a moron. Moron was a medical word back then for ret*d people.


Kit's one of my favorite characters. I find her attitude to be cute, especially her frowning. I guess it's time to replace my B&J stuff with A League of Their Own Shame I can't change my name to League Girl.

You have great taste in obsessions.

Mule!
NAG!

and my personal favourite...

THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!! !! !! !! !! !! !!

I decided on a crossover between Benny & Joon and A League of Their Own.

On most online communities, you can just PM an administrator and they'll change your name for you pretty much instantly.

I just bought a copy of A League of Their Own on eBay for £3.49 ($5.75 US). I haven't seen it in years -- all I can remember is Madonna walking around in her underwear .

I don't think you can on WP.

"There's no crying in baseball!" is probably my all-time favorite quote from any Tom Hanks movie.

love that movie! finally somebody gave credit to women in 'male-dominated' sports. and now for my fave quotes:

Capadino:
"Hey cowgirls, see the green grass? Don't eat it!"

Doris & Mae:
"Mae, what did you give her?"
"Who cares? It's working!"
---------------------------------------
"Oh, you killed her!
"We'll bury her, I know a guy!"

The field commentator on Dottie's split:
"Holy Uncle Elmore's socks! What did she do?!"

some of the best quotes i picked.

You should write your fan fiction to include the team traveling in time and then moving to Spokane, so Joon could join the team! I loved both movies! Maybe the team could be an Olympic softball team, or start a new women's baseball league in Benny & Joon's era.

I don't remember such a scene. But there is a deleted scene where she is outside the bus and she is doing a handstand and her feet are up on the bus. Her dress hanging down and her pink panties are showing. The expression on Kit's face was priceless. Open mouth. I was shocked too when I watched the scene.

I actually am sort of doing that. B&J are living in 1943 and Ruthie and Joon go to Chicago and tryout for the league and make the team. I had to throw in Dottie and Kit because I couldn't resist them. I even had Joon get mad at Charlie Collins for how he treated Shirley because she couldn't read and he as being a dick.

Ruthie and Evelyn were old friends from LA, Ernie is cousins with Eric so that's how Ruthie and Joon got invited to come to Chicago with them to tryout.

I also love that Capadino line. I also liked "Promise the cows you'd write?"


I also love

"No high ones."
"I like the high ones."
"Mule"
"Nag."

"Hey Kit, lay off of those high ones."
"I like the high ones."
"Mule."
"Nag."

"Eveleyn, Evelyn. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to kill your son."

I also loved in one of the deleted scenes where Kit's date says to her "You're not really a ball player. A Cute little thing like you."
He was trying to get her to come out to the truck and have sex and Kit refuses. So she tells him "I gotta pitch tomorrow."

"I have my truck parked outside."
"Good place for it."
"You want to see it?"
"I've seen a truck."
"Maybe I can give you something you're never seen."

Then he asks her to throw her some pitches.

"If you can't get me out, we go out to the truck."
The girls on her team talk her into doing it and she chuggs down her beer and goes "Okay."
She strikes him out.

Joke I made up when I was 14


Q. How are Dottie and Kit like animals?

A. One's a mule and one's a nag

I watched the film and absolutely loved it. I'm very fond of Geena Davis and could really relate to the sibling rivalry between Dottie and Kit. I particularly liked the ending where Kit got the homerun that won the World Series for Racine.

The scene I was referring to before is where they are getting changed for a game and they are singing a patriotic song about America. Half the girls in the scene, including Madonna, are in their underwear.
