Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Tom Hanks, Bill Pullman, Jon Lovitz, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell
Question: Why did Dottie want to be traded to another team, and why was Kit traded?
Question: Why did Marshall hire Madonna and O'Donnell?
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.
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)

Answer: Dottie wanted to be traded to alleviate the sibling rivalry between her and her kid sister, Kit. Instead, Kit was the who was traded because Dottie was the more talented player.
