A League of Their Own Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Rockford Peaches

The Rockford Peaches were the main team featured in the movie A League of Their Own. The team was based in Rockford, Illinois and was one of the original teams of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League (AAGPBL). The team was founded in 1943 and played until 1954, winning four championships in their eleven-year history. The Peaches' uniforms were pink and were designed to be more feminine than traditional baseball uniforms. The team's popularity helped pave the way for the acceptance of women in professional sports, and their legacy continues to inspire young female athletes today. Additionally, the team's name became synonymous with the league and the phrase "a league of their own" has become a popular cultural reference.

Answer: Nelson

When the Rockford Peaches let their hair down at the Suds Bucket, Marla gets drunk and sings on stage, much to the delight of one man named Nelson. While the rest of the patrons appear to be made melancholy by Marla's singing, Nelson is captivated by her, and promises to make sure that she gets home safely. Not long afterwards, the pair get married, and Marla leaves, though she does promise to return for the start of the next baseball season.

Answer: Racine Belles

The team that Kit got traded to was the Racine Belles. In the movie A League of Their Own, Kit struggles with the fact that she was traded to a different team and has to leave her sister Dottie behind. Even though the Belles were not one of the original four teams, they played an important role in the development of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. The team was based in Racine, Wisconsin and their uniforms were inspired by the World War II bomber planes - blue and yellow with "Racine Belles" written across the chest. Although Kit initially struggled with the change, she eventually found her place on the team and helped lead them to the playoffs. The story of the Racine Belles, and all the teams involved in the league, highlights the important role that women played in baseball during a time when many believed it was a sport only for men.

Answer: Taxi dancing

Mae Mordabito, (played by Madonna), is the Rockford Peaches' centre field, and is best friends with fellow Peach, Doris Murphy, (played by Rosie O'Donnell), who plays third base. Despite her brash and brazen demeanour, Mae is devastated when Ira Lowenstein, the League's general manager tells the women that unless more people come to watch them play, he will have no choice but to shut down the League. Desperate not to return to her old life, Mae breaks down in tears, and reveals that she used to be a taxi dancer, and is "never doin' that again".

Answer: Lynn Cartwright

Cartwright, born in 1927 in McAlester, Oklahoma, had the small role of Dottie Hinson as an old woman. At the beginning of the movie, old Dottie was seen as she looked at women playing baseball, and this caused her to reflect on her days with the Rockford Peaches. After Dottie reflected on her final goodbye to Kit, after the championship game, she saw her older teammates and reunited with them. They went to the Women's Baseball Hall of Fame and it was there that Dottie shared a tearful reunion with her sister, Kit. The original Rockford Peaches team took a picture together. We also found out, at this point, that Dottie only played baseball for one season. Cartwright guest starred on the TV series', "Knots Landing", "Dynasty", and "Little House on the Prairie."

Answer: Hinson

Dottie's surname in this movie is Hinson. The name Hinson is derived from the Old English personal name "Hun." It means "son of Hun." Interestingly, the Hinson family name is fairly rare, with only a few thousand people in the United States having it. In A League of Their Own, Dottie's last name may just be a small detail, but it helps to flesh out her character and provide more depth to her backstory. It's also a reminder that even the smallest details can make a big impact on a character's overall portrayal.

Answer: Dottie

When the single girls on the team sneak out to the Suds Bucket, it is Dottie who makes sure that they are not found out. Though Mae poisons the dinner of the team chaperone, Miss Cuthburt, (so that she does not discover their plans), Dottie is forced to enlist the help of a teenage boy, in order to get the girls home safely, with Miss Cuthburt none the wiser. However the boy who drives Dottie to the Suds Bucket fancies his chances with her, and even asks, "What do you say we slip in the back seat and make a man out of me?" Unfortunately for this young Casanova-in-training, Dottie declines.

Answer: Kathleen Butler

Butler got the small role of Kit Keller as an old woman. In the final scene, when all the original players of the Rockford Peaches went to the Women's Baseball Hall of Fame, Kit was with her grandchildren and her children. Her grandchildren went to a picture of Kit when she played for the Peaches, and asked her if that was her. Kit told them it was her and that was when she saw Dottie. Dottie and Kit embraced and were thrilled to see each other there. Butler's first acting credit was as an older Kit Keller in "A League of Their Own." In 2000, she guest starred on the TV show, "Law & Order."
