As A League of Their Own turns 30, rockmarooned looks back at the retro movie star talents of Geena Davis (and the regrettably backwards way Hollywood treated her)
. Davis projects the intelligence of a fast-talking career gal, but the movie cedes most of its comedy to Hoffman—which leaves Davis to, again, navigate the tricky emotional center of an old-fashioned picture, wondering whether the profession she loves may be interfering with the rest of her life.
Yet, there isn’t much Hayworth in these 1992 projects, which both have a certain primness about matters of sex and also in general. Both Gayle and Dottie pride themselves on a no-nonsense clarity. Even toward the end of, as Dottie leaves baseball for good, she plays her love of the game close to the vest, dismissing it as full of indignities and physical discomforts, emphasizing how she’ll miss her sister—giving Kit the emotional catharsis she needs, and placing that above her athletic glory.
