In this excerpt from the new book ‘No Crying in Baseball,’ Erin Carlson reveals how the pop star’s hiring made an A-list actor drop out, how Madonna and Rosie O’Donnell became fast friends, and the $10 tip that stunned a Madonna-impersonating drag queen.

In Chicago, Madonna worked harder than anyone her castmates had ever met. She rose at 4 a.m. and jogged eight to ten miles, then trained with Coach Hughes from eight to noon, then headed to the dance studio to rehearse Mae’s jitterbug number, the highlight of a complicated set piece at the fictional Suds Bucket nightclub. On the practice field one day, she told the actresses: “If anybody stays and plays until we can’t see the ball anymore, then I’ll take you to dinner.
