A League of Their Own Trivia Questions

Answer: Kit

Dottie told them to trade her, but they traded Kit instead.

Answer: Mr. Harvey

Mr. Harvey is a pivotal character in the movie 'A League of Their Own' as he is the owner of the women's baseball league, the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Throughout the movie, Mr. Harvey is portrayed as a businessman who is primarily interested in profit rather than the well-being of the players. He is often seen negotiating contracts and making decisions that are not beneficial to the players, such as cutting their pay and forcing them to wear shorter uniforms. His focus on profit ultimately leads to the dissolution of the league. However, Mr. Harvey's character also highlights the gender inequalities prevalent during the time period in which the movie is set, as women's baseball was not considered a legitimate sport and was not supported by the public in the same way as men's baseball.

Answer: By refusing to go without her

While on their way to the Chicago try-outs, the women accompany the baseball scout when he visits Marla and her father. From the get-go, it is clear that Marla is a phenomenal player, but the scout, Lovitz, dismisses her because he doesn't deem her to be attractive enough. On hearing this, Dottie and Kit are appalled, and point-blank refuse to go anywhere with Lovitz until he accepts Marla. Faced with this show of female solidarity, the scout relents, and agrees to allow her to come with them to Chicago.

Their relationship is a testament to the power of family and the importance of supporting those we love, even in the face of competition and rivalry.

Answer: A lot of night games

During the early days of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, the players are forced to attend deportment and beauty classes, as those in charge of the League are determined to ensure that each player is well-versed in the art of being a lady. However despite her best efforts, poor Marla sticks out like a sore thumb, having been raised, in her father's own words, to be more like a boy than a girl. Therefore when Marla is studied by a woman whose bread and butter is beauty, she is deemed to be a lost cause. To add insult to injury, when the woman's assistant asks "What do you suggest?", she responds with, "A lot of night games".

She is known for her incredible pitching skills and her quirky personality. However, she is also known for the tragedy that befalls her during the war. Bettie's husband, who is also a soldier, dies in the line of duty. This devastating loss affects her deeply, and she struggles to come to terms with it throughout the film. Bettie Spaghetti's character is a representation of the many families who were affected by the war and its terrible consequences. It also highlights the strength and resilience of women during this time period as they stepped up to take on jobs and roles traditionally held by men.

Answer: The high ones

Prior to meeting with the baseball scout, Kit is shown striking out, after missing three high fastballs, despite being warned by Dottie to "Lay off those high ones". Much later on in the film, when Kit and Dottie are no longer speaking, and find themselves on opposing teams, and in the World Series, Dottie tries to use this weakness against her. For when Kit gets up to hit, Dottie informs the pitcher, Ellen Sue, of Kit's weakness for highballs. Expecting her to strike out, Dottie is flabbergasted when, on the last pitch, Kit hits the ball, and, as a result, goes on to win the game for her team, the Racine Belles.
