Most people do not realize there was a spin off movie made in parallel to this movie. WWII pulled a tremendous amount of male plumbers from the work force. In order to address the needs of Americas plumbing needs, women were actively recruited to fill the gap. The movie documenting this was called..................."A Leak of Their Own"

@hectorsmommy1717 2 года назад

When I was in Jr, High girls were still required to play half-court basketball. The fear was that "all that running up and down the court would mess up the womb". I was a freshman when Title IX passed and by my Junior year our school had a girl's team that played full court interscholastically. My Mom started a track team months after Title IX and was one of the first 3 teams in our state. Girl's interscholastic sports boomed in the first years and we haven't looked back.

@LSgrimm91 2 года назад

I know some people may be hesitant or plain old against watching the new show because they love the movie and I get that (It's one of my favourites!). But the show is not a remake, or a reboot of the original, it's an *extension*. It put new characters in the same setting and told the stories the movie couldn't, or wouldn't tell. It tells the story of black women and queer women who played baseball. More than that, it put characters on screen that we normally don't see, and told the stories we know existed, but didn't talk about. You can enjoy the film and series separately. The series honours the film, but maintains a respectful distance and it's really well made. Like it's actually a damn good series on it's own.

@naomik5722 2 года назад

exactly! this is where ppl who don’t like it are missing it. Even Abbi and Will have said this is not a remake but a more expansive story to tell the untold stories that the movie didn’t cause they loved the movie.

@ashleighrose8115 2 года назад

Agreed the movie is one of my favorite of all times but I like it's a deeper dive into what really happened. People tend to forget with a movie you have to try and sum the story up in around 90min which leaves a lot of critical things out with a TV show there are endless possibilities because you have all the Time in the world to tell the story the right way.

I was 16 when the film came out and it was so awesome to see actresses like Madonna, Rosie O'Donnel, Lori Petty, Geena Davis and Tracy Riner all be baseball players. And at 46, I got to see the series and it was a huge eyeopener. It was great to see a more honest portrayal of the creation of the league and see an honest portrayal of the lives of the women that played in the league. I thought it was awesome that Rosie O'Donnel herself did a guest spot in one of the episodes of the series for she looked amazing. And, for those who are die hard fans of the 1992 film, the actress who played the character "Marla" played the character of "Broomhilda" in the 1993 film by Mel Brooks, ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS. I do hope there is a season 2 of the series and also see how things were realistically for the league along with the lives of the women in the league right through the end of the league in 1954.

@throughthelookingglass5973 2 года назад

Years ago, when I was in middle school, one of the actual baseball players visited my school and gave an interview about the times she lived in and her success in baseball. She even spoke about the film which I think they turned to her for references. She gave me an autograph. (Which I lost. I was terrible at preserving things at that age. I'm kicking myself now since she's likely dead now.) I don't remember her full name. But I do remember that she signed her name as "Dottie." It could be Dottie Schroeder or Dorothy Kamenshek who visited my school. I don't know. Older Dorothy Kamenshek looks familiar to me. This happened in the late '90s. Amazing! I wish I had more appreciation of that honor back then! EDIT: I ran into a signed ball by Dorothy Kamenshek on the internet. Her signature looks very similar to the autograph I received. I think it was her.

It deserves all the love as well and a bit of revisiting of the film

@meebbrick5345 2 года назад

Loved the 2022 series! Very important to note that it isn't exactly a "remake" remake but a some sort of an extension of the stories that the 1992 movie didn't get to tell then. As a queer person who's still struggling with my identity they did a good job for exploring the real stories behind AAGBBL into ways that are more relatable to me. It's like my comfort show now. Hoping for a season 2! #ALOTOrenewal

Both of my grandparents were awsome and bosses in bosses in their own time. 😎 I'm proud that I'm their grandchild

@vespista1971 2 года назад

Loved the movie, but also love the new series for being able to flesh out many facets of the story that the movie, due both to the time constraints of being a movie and the decade in which the movie was produced, could not show. BUT, one thing that I’ve found especially jarring about the 2022 series is how anachronistic a lot of the dialogue is. There really needs to be a healthy dose of willing suspension of disbelief held by the viewers when the girls are using colloquialisms that I, a GenXer, remember the advent of lol…. No one in the 40’s was exclaiming, “Epic!,” for instance. All of the late 60’s music they use also sort of takes you out of the right time period too, although I could handle that, (following shows such as Bridgerton), if they would just pay a little more attention to getting the dialogue in the right decade. Also, although there were women who cursed in the 40’s, there’s a bit much of it in the series, and at least *some* of those girls should be showing negative facial reactions or gasping, etc, to such public foul language.

I would love to see a women's baseball league again. I don't watch the WNBA mostly because there isn't a team in a city near me (or I didn't know that there was until I just googled it). Perhaps if we put as much effort into women's sports as we do men's, we could draw crowds. I know that women's soccer has won more games than men's and they JUST got equal pay. We not only need to talk about women in sports, but the problems that go along with it like uniforms, lack of pay equality, racism, sexism and the like.

@joshrobinson506 Год назад

This has got to stop. "As long as there have been sports there have been woman who wanted to be part of it. " Thanks to societal norms blah blah blah. It had nothing to do with societal norms. It does have something to do with the millions upon millions of men who wanted to be part of it as well but didn't make the cut. Just like those men the women didn't make the cut. It had nothing to do with gender or femininity or sexism. It only had to do with ability. Just like today if a woman could make the cut she would be on the field, and get an equal amount of guff as compared to the men. Women keep putting the horse before the cart on this point insisting that women weren't allowed to play and that has never been the case.
