A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN Filming Locations - Bosse Field/League Field

[@destineefernandez3244]

I don’t know if you would see this comment but thank you for this vlog. It’s a crazy coincidence that I saw this movie last night which happens to be my favorite movie ever and then I wake up to his vlog. After the horrible few days I’ve had, I needed this. So thanks.

[@KidWildboy]

One of my favorite baseball movies of all time! Me and my son met & took pix with Betty Spaghetti And Marla Hooch at a Brooklyn cyclones game in Coney Island.

[@Corleypuddin]

Hi Jordan! I hope you read these even though you filmed it a while ago. This one by far is my most favorite. This movie is my absolute favorite, I can turn the sound town and quote it word for word. I can’t believe I actually saw where everything happened. About to look at the graves of the players. I miss Huell Howser so much he used to take me everywhere but he’s gone and now you are taking me. Thank you!!

[@kevinleonard007]

I can't believe you came to my hometown. They used lots of extras from Evansville to fill the stadium. They rented homes for the actors here and surrounding areas and Madonna even came out to one of the nightclubs here and partied it was really a big thing for this area. Kevin

[@RaeAnn_1202]

Wonderful vlog! I love that movie. How incredible you were able to get into the stadium. Your film location videos are always so well done.

[@kimchen5775]

Such a good movie. Nice to see the Rockford stadium hasn't changed.

[@DazewithJordantheLion]

Yes, i said the town name wrong IM SORRY!!!!! Let it slide.. criminey

[@darrellsaroundtuit.2439]

dang you was only 20 miles from my house. I could have showed you where madonna stayed while she was here in Evansville.

[@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093]

That is the town I grew up in as a kid. Then at 21, I ran away from home to Hollywood in 1983 before returning to my grandparent's place in Kentucky in 2005 . ....

Thank you, Jordan for doing this awesome movie vlog... A very old friend of mine was some of the inspiration for the movie... She has since passed due to cancer... She had a long life in Kentucky... She showed me pics of when she played and told me stories about things that happened during that time... I miss talking to you, Kat, Can't wait to see you again...

[@marycleveland540]

I'm from the Evansville area and Madonna totally insulted the town, and that was after the mayor gave her a tour and treated her like she was royalty, all because she didn't like the nightlife. We were also suffering from an extreme heat wave during the time the crew was here and she whined about that too. Tom Banks gave an interview on, I believe, The Tonight Show and he was a complete gentleman when speaking about his experiences here.

Awww love your work!!! It's like traveling with a friend!!! Coffe with Jordan in the morning!!!

[@dbzfangirltoyreviews]

I watched this movie for the first time when I was 8 years old and loved it as a kid and to this day remains one of my all time favorite films. That must have been amazing to visit the stadiums where they shot the film, I will never get to visit these places so it is awesome that people like you do vlogs like this so people who can't see places like these get to live vicariously through you.

[@TheMrdavidlangley]

Hello Jordan. I am from Rockford, Illinois. I really enjoyed this video. The billboard you zoomed in on said "Read about the Rockford Peaches in the Morning Star. The Morning Star is now called The Rockford Register Star. And Rockford is the hometown of Cheap Trick. Rick Nielsen still lives in Rockford. And Brad Carlson (a.k.a. Bun E. Carlos) still lives in Rockford also. Loved the video Mr. Jordan. Loved it!!!! Take care of yourself and have a nice day. You deserve it!!!

I once heard Tom Hanks on a talk show say that Evansville was his favorite movie set. He and his son enjoyed fishing whenever they could.

[@JudithElizabeth67]

Your tenacity just paid off! Your love for great movies shows just in everything you show us! This one is great , because we can really feel your excitement in all you talk about- like in every vlog you make! I am very glad to be part of your amazing journey and thank you for not giving up! Turns out really great at the end! But either way it would have been great! You just deliver! ✌🏼

[@angieburnett4341]

Wow, this was GREAT!! This is one of my fave movies too, & totally agree about Madonna & Rosie--not so much normally but they were really good in this movie. I've lived in Indiana my entire life but sadly haven't ever made it down there to check these out--would love to someday. Yeah, I need to get out more!! Thank you Jordan!!

[@jordanandjahfan2305]

Thanks for vlogging the sites for this movie, Jordan! It's one of my favorites.

[@lakeerie5857]

Also loved the reunion at end they matched ladies so well in upper years. Great vlog and very cool and interesting to see the stadiums. Ty

[@bonniebrown6960]

Jordan , I'm glad I went back to watch this . I just had a bad week last week with losing my dog . Then my mom had another stroke on the day you posted this . A League of Their Own was a great movie . So glad you were able to get in . It's always so cool to see these place where they've filmed movies . Thanks for sharing this Jordan . Now I want to go watch the movie again . 😉

[@KlassyKat45]

Great movie. I'm not even into sports but really enjoyed it. I like the nostalgia and the sister relationhip between Dottie and Kitt. Great casting. Penny Marshall's daughter, Tracey Reiner was in it as well along with her brother Garry, of course. David L. Lander (Squiggy) and Eddie Mekka (from Laverne & Shirley) have small roles

[@cindyhenning7832]

Your amazing! You have such great luck when you’re filming. So glad you got in.i just love this movie😄

[@timmytaco23]

Excellent movie! The home of the Racine Belles and Kenosha Comets are still standing as well. I attended a reunion some years back in Kenosha at their stadium when several of the original AAGPBL players dedicated a plaque. It was an awesome experience and the stadium is used today as the home of The Kenosha Kingfishers baseball league.

[@cindazoo]

One of my all time fav movies too. Loved seeing the actual locations. Great vlog !!

[@honeydew46]

This brought back memories. I was 14. I love this movie, even the soundtrack was amazing. Great video

[@elzar760]

I’ve watched quite a few baseball games in Bosse Field. I still remember all the buzz when this was being filmed as well. On the “Avoid the clap - Jimmy Dugan” scene, the 2nd kid who says “WOW”, was a friend of mine’s little brother.

[@Sandraella1982]

awesome job on my hometown of Evansville , I remember them filming here and had family who were extras in the stands, also thanks for showing our Santa he was recently restored and put back up, Bosse Field is where our home team the Evansville Otters Play baseballl

[@ktswizzle13]

I won an international essay contest in 2012 and got to attend the annual reunion the AAGPBL (league the movie was based on) holds every year! This movie is near and dear to my heart and I’m so happy I got to meet the original players!

[@xJRx77]

PHENOMENAL! I like you, feel the same about this film, and have watched it at least 50 times! went to the BB Hal of fame when they had the display for the league, now they have an extensive exhibit about the movie. Very very cool to watch this video. Thanks so much for sharing this!

Sqiggy (David Lander) besides his acting career, was also a professional baseball scout - i worked with him many times while he was with the Seattle Mariners - I think he is retired now though, due to health issues

Carmine "The Big Ragoo" Ragusa (Eddie Mekka) was in it as well. He was the dancer with Madonna at the club.

If you're ever in Rockford, IL visit the actual Peaches field. Unfortunately all that's left is the ticket booth but they've been working on restoring the field and there are a lot of plaques and informational signs about the actual team.

You missed part of the important places. You should have gone on to Henderson, Ky. The house where the girls snuck out of to go to the dance. It was so much fun when they were here. My Mom, myself, her friend and my son and his friend were all extras in a movie. It was hot that summer and the whole town was playing with the cast.

The bus from the movie used to be parked in an open parking lot somewhere around the Huntingburg/Jasper area and not near the ballpark at all. I was thinking it was somewhere close to I-64 but they might have moved it. Also in my hometown of Henderson(about 10 minutes south of Evansville) is the boarding house the girls stayed in the movie. Well done on the video. I really enjoyed it!
