No crying in baseball page 18 by ric gustafson
Penny began production for ' Awakenings' in October 1989. Ganz and Mandel finished the script for ' A League Of Their Own' before that date. Fox Studio Chairman Joe Roth couldn't wait for Penny to finish ' Awakenings'. Roth hired Director David Anspaugh to direct ' A League Of Their Own'.
In Feb 1990, hundreds upon hundreds of ladies converged on the University of Southern California's Dedeaux Field to try out for the film. Penny put the actresses into three categories Athletes, Trainable and Hopeless.
Rod Dedeaux and Bo Hughes graded the actresses on hitting, catching, and fielding. Those who tried out included Courteney Cox, Cindy Crawford, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kelly Preston and Brooke Shields.
One of the natural athletes who tried out was Rosie O'Donnell. O'Donnell, a standup comedian and veejay, figured she might have an advantage. She grew up in Commack New York. She grew playing baseball with the boys just like Penny did.
