"a true story"

This article appeared today on the MLB web. The real "League of its Own".

In 1956, after our Basin League season ended, I received a offer to play an "All Star" Women's team from the Pro League in the Midwest.

Games were played in Winner, South Dakota.

The ladies were on a tour playing Men's teams. We announced our games riding on a "fire truck". Our team switch our pitcher and catcher with the Women's Pro team. "Dottie" in the movie was actually the left fielder.

The two teams divided the gate receipts from the 2 games.
