Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna, Tom Hanks, Bill Pullman, Jon Lovitz, Rosie O'Donnell
Other mistake: The older Dottie Hinson in the beginning of the movie has blue eyes and Geena Davis (young Dottie) has brown eyes.
Other mistake: When Helen Haley is helping Shirley Baker find her name on the team rosters, she finds her on the first list on the board. That list is the roster for the Racine Belies, not the Rockford Peaches.
Continuity mistake: During the tryout/league formation sequence at Harvey (Wrigley) Field, every shot takes place at the famous stadium, except one. When Betty Spaghetti backpedals to catch a fly ball, the background shows a rickety wooden outfield fence, not Wrigley's famous ivy-covered walls. (00:25:20)
Kit: Have you ever heard dad introduce us? "This is our daughter Dottie and this is our other daughter, Dottie's sister." They should've just had you and bought a dog.
Trivia: Betty Spaghetti is played by director Penny Marshall's daughter, Tracy Reiner. Walter Harvey is played by the director's brother, Gary Marshall.

Answer: Rosie O'Donnell auditioned for the role of Marla, but lost it. Penny Marshal thought she was a good actress and so funny she created the role of Doris for her. As for Madonna, she was like all singers getting offered movie roles. She was very popular back in the 90's, but reportedly a total diva to work with.
