I'm a new subscriber and have been following the major strains of discussion, but I want to throw out an irrelevant question. Just saw A League of Their Own for the second time and got into a discussion with friends about the relationship between the historical reality of the female baseball teams and Marshall's Hollywoodization of it; but I don't know enough about the actual facts of the history. Does anyone know the specifics of the history? How true were the characters to the real people (obviously Madonna, Jon Lovitz, Tom Hanks were primarily themselves, but what about the sisters? How much of their relationship/conflict was real, etc? Anything you know would be interesting... Amanda
