A League Of Their Own

We watched the movie, "A League Of Their Own" Sunday Night on TCM and in the beginning of the movie, I think it was a CC spreading manure. Great movie, made in 1992, about womens' professional baseball during WW 2.. Anyways, what was interesting was that much of the movie focused on the "Racine Team" playing in Racine WI. Yet, with all the "time period" advertising posted on the fence, nothing about J.I. CASE, which in reality, I am sure would have been plastered all over. Interesting.
 
Yes John, I believe that is a CC also. I always wondered how and where they came up with that footage. "There's no crying in baseball" has to be one of the greatest movie lines ever. Don
 
Don: That movie apparently has been around, but we've never seen it before. Gonna keep my eye out for it again. Whatever that tractor & spreader was, she was sure spreading it out!!
 
"League of Their Own" was meant to depict a Racine team. However most of the outside nature shots were filmed in the town of Jasper , Dubois County, south west, Indiana. My Mother was born and raised in nearby Ferdinand . My Cousins on moms' side worked on the 1920s style ball stadium and field that was designed and built for the movie . I have visited stadium and walked the diamond , it is very nice. it stays busy hosting local games.And there is a display of the movie set up there .The Local folks are VERY proud of their MOVIE and some locals filled in as extras back in 1992 . Jasper also has a Agriculture museum i have yet to find open .The nearby famous Snitzelbach Restaurant also has a nice tribute to the movie. Sunday was probably the 10th time to see the movie but this time i got to see the very beginning. It is the 1st time I noticed the unmistakable front wheels on the tractor and the load. i thought it could be a side angle shot of a DC. but to be time correct it would need to be a CC.
