A League of Their Own 10th Anniversary Reunion 2002 Cooperstown NY

Full video of a Q&A session with ALOTO cast & crew at the Baseball Hall of Fame on May 11, 2002. This was the finale to a full weekend of events in Cooperstown celebrating the movie's 10th anniversary
This is the Hall of Fame's video, converted from a VHS they sent me in the mail after the event! I attended this as a teenager and recently realized there is nothing online from this reunion! Thought it was time this wonderful piece of history is shared.
---------
( #BACKSTORY I grew up near Cooperstown and randomly heard about this event from the local newspaper when I was in HS. My friend and I were obsessed with this movie as kids and this reunion was the coolest thing that could have ever happened to us at this stage in our lives. I'll never forget how gracious both the ALOTO crew and the Hall of Fame employees were, helping 2 wide-eyed kids live a dream that wknd! It was a members-only event, but the HOF staff saw our naive/excited/desperate faces, and went out of their way to help us get in and be part of it. They even mailed us the tapes of the event for free after when we asked if they had any footage. Life-changing! The ALOTO cast couldn't be any cooler, patiently visiting with every fan and sharing so many pieces of history from this classic work. They were all completely and effortlessly invested in the event and in the legacy of this film. Same goes for the legendary AAGPBL players in attendance- what an honor to hear their history firsthand. Thank you all. And pls dont delete the video tks!! #history )

[@JohnS-wr9pq]

This is great. A Must see for any fan of the film for some insight.

[@ilovethetampabaylightning92]

God Garry Marshall was so handsome. What a crush I had on him.

[@mlvc82]

I wish they talked about the ROSIE and QUEEN MADONNA scene...with Geena and Lori.

[@Otokichi786]

This is why I Love Baseball movies.

[@Icprince2004]

So glad they brought up Eddie "Knuckles" Cicotte whom happened to have been my paternal 5th cousin 1x removed.

[@davidragland6161]

Thanks so much for sharing this. It’s my favorite of the reunion panels for this film.

[@ronaldbose9645]

The best thing about this movie is that it is true.

[@Whatever8197V]

That was outstanding thank you 💕🤩🤩 .love love love movie

[@robertwaid3579]

To see this reunion 🐱🤣 was very Special, and Remarkable. Till the Film," A League Of Thier Own", came out? I had never even known about the Women's Professional Baseball League. I started playing Baseball? At the age of Six! Little League, on up too Legion Ball. After that it was Softball, till I was almost Forty years old. My Parents Loved the Game, from Opening Day? Till the End of the Fall Finale of The Series'? My Mother's Home Town, had A Minor League, Team called The Worland Indians! During the 1930's till the Late 1950's. I believe it was? One of the A, AA, or AAA, Affiliate's / The Major League's.? That was in Wyoming! I'm not Up on the Stat's n Fact's, Myself 🤔🤔? My knowledge was all aquired from my Parents, before n after coming too Wyoming, in the Late 1970's. FYI & LOL, anyone who has even the slightest knowledge? About the Game of Baseball? They Can't Help but Love ❤️😘❤️ The Game. To close this Comment? I would Hope that People will get Too View, the Great Film, A League of Thier Own? For say Fifty yrs after I'm gone? Thank You for sharing the above reunion with Us? May Penny Marshall, RIP, by Our Lord's Side 🙏🙏, and may all the Other Great, Ladies of Baseball, do well? As well as the Rest of The Cast? May God Bless Them All. Wyo, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀😎😎🤔🤔⚾🏈⚾🏈🏉🥎🥎🏉🙏🙏🙏🙏

All the women in my family play ball. This movie means so much to us. We stand on the shoulders of these pioneers of women’s sports & are immensely grateful to them. PLAY BALL!!!

[@davidfrederick6003]

The original writer of the song and they sang together! WOW!

[@smittyinwootown5640]

I was never a Madonna fan by any means , but the Song She sings at the very end of the movie , This used to be My Playground , is incredible. I’m a 65 year old guy and that Song Made me go back to My Hometown of Medford Mass. And walk through the Playground I grew up in ( Logan Park ) as a Boy while I played that song on My Phone. Tears coming down My face. So glad I walked through and ran the bases ( slowly) made me feel like 12 years old again. 🙏

[@sendrakes4203]

Try for this Reunion ❤️ Such a great unforgettable film indeed. My only curiousity was these sisters dynamics. In the end, when they're saying goodbye to each other as kitt will continue to play whilst dodie to start a family, I'm curious As they've met in the reunion, seem to reflect that this is the first time they've seen each other again, her little sister with her families and grandchildren...is this correct?

[@michaeldunker6622]

This was fantastic!

[@DannyCosmos]

dotty dropped the ball on purpose. ill die on that hill.

[@JoefromNJ1]

U think she’d really sell out her whole team by losing on purpose?

[@yamil.343]

Yes for her sister.

[@Marky11694]

Where is Gena Davis

[@xjcrossx]

Still mourning Bob.

[@azerethroth5761]

Thank you! Such a big fan of Penny’s, Do you have any memories of talking with her here? :D

[@sams220guy3]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

RIP Penny Marshall

[@ms.felonystrutter2472]

It's a solid movie, but BY FAR,...FAR....the best baseball movie, the greatest sports movie is the original Bad News Bears. The Bears BURIES this movie .not even close

[@___Will__Ferrell]

With all the big stars missing in this reunion like Madonna, Tom Hanks, Rosie O'Donnell and Geena Davis this lineup is a bad movie on basic cable.

[@jamesr2164]

Totally disagree. Although I wish they had been there as well, I really enjoyed watching this.
