Something I never noticed about "A League of their Own."

I love baseball movies, and it's one of my favorite ones. I've seen it umpteen times. But I just noticed for the first time that in that scene early in the movie where Geena Davis and Lori Petty and the other girls on the two teams are playing a game in Willamette, Oregon, in 1943, and the scout, played by Jon Lovitz, is watching them, they're not playing baseball. They're playing fast-pitch softball.

Just making that observation and passing it along to y'all, if anybody's interested. I'll continue to waste y'all's time with inconsequential trivialities from time to time, because coronavirus isolation has made sure that I've got time for it.
