Has it really been that long?

Hardcover No Crying in Baseball: The Inside Story of a League of Their Own: Big Stars, Dugout Drama, and a Home Run for Hollywood BookA League of Their Own premiered more than 30 years ago. Ahead of my Bookshelf Conversation with Erin Carlson, author of No Crying in Baseball: The Inside Story of A League of Their Own — Big Stars, Dugout Drama, and a Home Run for Hollywood, I found several stories about the film that takes a look back on the actors and anecdotes. Among them:

Sneak preview: One of the knocks on the movie was that it did not address the lesbian aspect of the league at the time. Not all that surprising given the condition of sexual politics in the early 90s. The Amazon TV show — far inferior in the baseball portrayal, IMO — takes a much stronger look, so if there’s anything to recommend it, it’s that. Look for that to be discussed in detail in the  Conversation with Erin Carlson which I hope to post next week.
