Continuity mistake: When Jimmy is talking to Dottie by her car before she goes home with Bob, the background behind Jimmy changes too much for the slight change in the angle of the camera (i e, a blue VW with three people standing by the trunk versus a red/burgundy car, plus the blue car reappears). The white representing the house behind the trees also looks different compared to a direct shot of the house. Also, the sun was shining, the road looked wet and a little later, the road looked dry.

A League Of Their Own (1992)
21 continuity mistakes
Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Tom Hanks, Bill Pullman, Jon Lovitz, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell
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)
Kid: Mr. Dugan, can you sign my baseball card? Whoa... avoid the clap, signed Jimmy Dugan.
Jimmy: That's good advice!
Trivia: The notoriously hard-to-work-with Debra Winger was originally cast as Dottie, but she and Penny Marshall had so many creative differences that she was replaced by Geena Davis.

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.
