There's No Crying In Baseball!


So I finally finished watching the movie, A League Of Their Own, starring Tom Hanks and Madonna. I mentioned the two cause they're the only one I really know from the cast. But, each single one of them, made an impact to me.

I'm going to point out the strongest part that got under my skin.

Jimmy Dugan: Evelyn, could you come here for a second? Which team do you play for?
Evelyn Gardner: Well, I'm a Peach.
Jimmy Dugan: Well I was just wonderin' why you would throw home when we got a two-run lead. You let the tying run get on second base and we lost the lead because of you. Start using your head. That's the lump that's three feet above your ass.
[Evelyn starts to cry]
Jimmy Dugan: Are you crying? Are you crying? ARE YOU CRYING? There's no crying! THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL!
Doris Murphy: Why don't you give her a break, Jimmy...
Jimmy Dugan: Oh, you zip it, Doris! Rogers Hornsby was my manager, and he called me a talking pile of pigshit. And that was when my parents drove all the way down from Michigan to see me play the game. And did I cry?
Evelyn Gardner: No, no, no.
Jimmy Dugan: Yeah! NO. And do you know why?
Evelyn Gardner: No...
Jimmy Dugan: Because there's no crying in baseball. THERE'S NO CRYING IN BASEBALL! No crying!

I find this scene really funny, Tom Hanks nailed being mean and angry and funny, it just hilarious to see how he got angry and telling not to cry in baseball.

Umpire: Perhaps you chastised her too vehemently. Good rule of thumb: treat each of these girls as you would treat your mother.
Jimmy Dugan: Did anyone ever tell you, you look like a penis with that little hat on?

After he told that above, he was approached by Umpire about his actions, and what do you know? This comes up and had me cracking up again. Haha...

Jimmy Dugan: [referring to Stilwell Angel] Keep that kid away from me for just one game!

Jimmy Dugan: We're gonna win. WE'RE GONNA WIN!
Stilwell Gardner: You're gonna lose. You're gonna lose. You stink.
Jimmy Dugan: [after hitting Stilwell in the face with a thrown glove, shouts] Ha! Got him! 

Ah yes Stilwell, the "angel" looking kid, turns out to be one of the most annoying kids on screen. He really added up the fun part of the movie, but wait till you see the ending for a big surprise.


Most of all, all I can say, I hate it when Tom Hanks gets me on the final part always, that he... well... won't spoil it to you guys. But it always makes me cry, and I just can't help it. You know that feeling? When things get better? Sometimes life is just so unpredictable.

If you want to laugh and feel kind blue at the same time, hit up and watch this movie.
