	Movies - A League of Their Own

A League of Their Own is a 1992 film which tells a fictionalized account of the real-life All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. It was adapted by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel from a story by Kim Wilson and Kelly Candaele, and was directed by Penny Marshall.

Debra Winger was originally set to star, but dropped out after Madonna signed on; the role went to Geena Davis instead.

Madonna ("This Used to Be My Playground") and Carole King ("Now and Forever") contributed songs to the soundtrack.

The character of "Jimmy Dugan", the team manager played by Tom Hanks, is loosely based on real-life baseball player Jimmie Foxx. All of the actresses did their own baseball playing -- they did not have stunt doubles.

Many of the game scenes were filmed at Bosse Field in Evansville, Indiana. It is the nation's third oldest ball park. League Stadium in Huntingburg, Indiana served as the homefield for the Rockford Peaches, the featured team of the film.
