Talk:A League of Their Own

Added Dottie's Real Name

Note character is based on real baseball player Dorothy "Dottie" Kamenshek.

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)

Only 'error' about putting in a "traditional spelling [because assuming] the baseball league made a mistake" is - - - what spelling was used in the film's credits? That's what character names must be based on, the actual film. 2600:8800:785:2A00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 03:11, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Cast in plot section

@Doniago: 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)

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)

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)

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 Jacobite_{The '45} 12:17, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

Any resemblance to real persons …

… candy magnate and Cubs owner Walter Harvey …

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)

AAGPBL

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)
