Talk:A League of Their Own

message: There are two proposed candidates, Jimmie Foxx and Hack Wilson. After reading both their biographies, I find the former more likely, since he actually coached an AAGPBL team. The only resemblance to Wilson was that both were alcoholics, hardly unique. Clarityfiend 01:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Inspiration for Jimmy Dugan

message: Took out "*Mae Mordabito is the great aunt of Gregg "Opie" Hughes of the Opie and Anthony Show, heard weekday mornings on XM Satellite Radio and dozens of terrestrial radio stations." What does this mean? Hughes is the grandnephew of a fictional character? Or his great aunt happens to have the same name as Madonna's character? Who cares? Clarityfiend 13:57, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed odd trivia

message: The plot summary is around 650 words, which I think is about the right length for a feature film, play or novel.  I've removed the  tag. --Tony Sidaway 00:42, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot summary

message: I just saw the movie on TV and wanted to read more about it on Wikipedia. Like many people, I just type in the main part of the title (not remembering that there is an "A" in the beginning) and I get sent to some obscure nude rugby calender. Come on people, the movie is internationally known and dwarfs an obscure rugby calender when it comes to primary topic. So many wikipedia articles have redirects for the main title without the articles "A" or "The", etc. This is a no brainer and it is silly for readers like me to get sent to the completely wrong topic on wikipedia when searching for a VERY well  known subject. 72.21.196.66 (talk) 05:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the calendar does have that title. The best solution I can think of is to add a hatnote (which I have done). Clarityfiend (talk) 06:16, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: [grin]  That really is funny.  I agree, the hatnote is suitable. Erik (talk) 13:54, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Why doesn't [[League of Their Own]] redirect here?

message: In the document, there is a link to learn more about Fitzgeralds. However the link goes to an establishment in Houston, not Berwyn. Since it is wrong, I am removing it  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.228.30.234 (talk) 03:36, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Tagged for needing sources since August 2011. The only citation provided was IMDb, which isn't reliable. Please feel free to reincorporate into the article with proper references. Doniago (talk) 14:09, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced Material 

message: Note character is based on real baseball player Dorothy "Dottie" Kamenshek.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/21/AR2010052104773.html
Also, when they post the Rockford Peaches' roster (directly after tryouts), Dottie's full name "Dorthey Hinson" is revealed.  Note, I added traditional spelling of Dorothy and assumed the baseball league made a mistake in spelling her name.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.33.55.76 (talk) 00:06, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Added Dottie's Real Name 

message: WP:FILMPLOT says no such thing to my knowledge, and I was simply reverting a recent change. Daß Wölf 19:06, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Including the cast took the plot over the 700-word guideline, and it's been established that including the cast in the plot is typically unnecessary and potentially undesirable if there's a separate Cast section. You're welcome to trim the plot down to the point that including the cast doesn't push the plot past 700 words, from my perspective. DonIago (talk) 20:17, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I've done so. I think the cast in plot is quite useful here, considering there are many characters to keep track of. Daß Wölf 18:38, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: That's what the cast section is for.  Putting the same names in the plot is just pointless duplication to no good purpose. ---The Old JacobiteThe '45 12:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cast in plot section 

message: :
Are the Cubs mentioned by name?  Harvey (chocolate) obviously represents a member of the Wrigley (gum) family; it would be strange to rename him and not his team. —Tamfang (talk) 17:51, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any resemblance to real persons … 

message: It wasn't mentioned either way as to whether or not any AAGPBL players were in the film; especially in the opening and closing framing scenes.
Were any ?
Just curious. 2600:8800:785:2A00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 03:14, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
