CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Dottie (Geena Davis), Kit (Lori Petty), and Hooch (Megan Cavanagh) arrive at try outs and get bullied by Mae (Madonna) and Doris (Rosie O'Donnell).
FILM DESCRIPTION:
The All-American Girls' Professional Baseball League was founded in 1943, when most of the men of baseball-playing age were far away in Europe and Asia fighting World War II. The league flourished until after World War II, when, with the men's return, the league was consigned to oblivion. Director Penny Marshall and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel re-create the wartime era when women's baseball looked to stand a good chance of sweeping the country. The story begins as a candy-bar tycoon enlists agents to scour the country to find women who could play ball. In the backwoods of Oregon, two sisters -- Dottie (Geena Davis) and Kit (Lori Petty) -- are discovered. Dottie can hit and catch, while Kit can throw a mean fastball. The girls come to Chicago to try out for the team with other prospects that include their soon-to-be-teammates Mae Mordabito (Madonna), Doris Murphy (Rosie O'Donnell), and Marla Hooch (Megan Cavanagh). The team's owner, Walter Harvey (Gary Marshall) needs someone to coach his team and he picks one-time home-run champion Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), who is now a broken-down alcoholic. After a few weeks of training, as Dugan sobers up, the team begins to show some promise. By the end of the season, the team has improved to the point where they are competing in the World Series (which is no big deal, since there are only four teams in the league).

The fact she caught it with her barehand unflinching is super amazing because as someone who used to play softball it hurts like heck without a mitt!!!
"O-K, some of
Such an unlikely pairing but Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell have excellent chemistry in this movie.
I actually love how the reactions are between the three women in that instant the ball is thrown. Dottie, best in the league and farmhand, snatches the ball right out of the air without flinching. Marla, #2 and raised as a ball player, immediately goes into a shortstop crouch to prepare to catch the ball and relaxes her hands once she realizes it's not coming her way anymore. And Kit, who has a tendency to swing for high fastballs believing they're in her strike zone, ducks out of the way of a ball that's a bit too high to actually hit her.
Fun Fact: Genna Davis was cast only few days before filming and had to play catch up to learn how to play baseball. The rest of the stars had been training for months but in a few short weeks Geena had mastered the game and was beating her co stars
Geena is alpha female in this film.
if someone can catch a fastball without even trying then you know they're a badass
I like it when Marla's character had Dottie's back when Doris threw that ball. Go Marla!!
Ok, I finally realized what is so badass about the catch aside from the bare hand. Dottie keeps her eye contact; doesn’t even glance at the ball.
“Ok some of them are going home “. 🤣
When she catches the ball one handed. watch the lady behind her @
"ok, some of THEM are going home" is pretty much my favorite line in the movie.
"I'm just gonna go home... grab a shower and a shave... give the wife a little pickle tickle and I'll be on my way."
Geena’s face is so unimpressed when she catches the ball 😂😂⚾️
Madonna and Rosie together are great
This movie was way ahead of its time. I remember my mother loved it. Always rewatched it when it was on tv. She was in her 50's and 60's. Passed away at 72 but loved movies with strong females that had actual character development.
“Geeze let’s go practise 😐” my fav 😂
Madonna looks great with dark Hair
Rest in Peace Ms Penny Marshall (Director).
Dont you love it when people underestimate you? Their reaction is always entertaining
