A League of Their Own turns 25
I went to see it with my sister Katie at Skyway (that's the one that used to be across from the airport, right?) We took the bus and on the way home stopped at a baseball card shop.
Still relatively new to baseball, I asked about Jimmy Dugan - Tom Hanks character - and he didn't ring a bell with the shopkeeper. I wasn't surprised, as I guessed it had been a fictionalized character. Had it been a year or two later, I would have figured out that Dugan was loosely based on slugger Jimmie Foxx.
