A League of Their Own (1992)
Harry Shearer: Newsreel Announcer
Quotes
-
Announcer : Then there's pretty Dottie Henson, who plays like Gehrig, and looks like Garbo. Uh-uh, fellas, keep your mitts to yourself; she's married. And there's her kid sister Kit, who's as single as they come. Enough concentrated oomph for a whole carload of Hollywood starlets.
-
Stadium announcer : [Dottie hits a line drive at Kit's head, making her duck out of the way] Well, bite my butt and call me an apple! She nearly took her head off!
-
Announcer : And how about Marla Hooch. What a hitter.
-
Stadium announcer : Now batting for the Peaches, #5, center fielder, Mae Mordabito.
Racine Catcher : C'mon, no hitter, no hitter!
Stadium announcer : Here's the pitch...
[Mae swings and hits a ball into right center field]
Stadium announcer : ... there's a shot into right center it's... up the alley!
Peaches first base coach : Go to third, go to third, keep goin', Mae!
Ellen Sue Gotlander - Shortstop : Keep goin', Mae, all the way!
Stadium announcer : She's turning 'round first, she's heading up to third. Mordabito's heading past second!
Racine Catcher : Go to third, go to third!
Stadium announcer : She's headed into third!
Dottie Hinson : Dirt in the skirt, Mae! Dirt in the skirt!
Umpire : [Mae slides head-first into third base, ahead of the throw] Safe!
Stadium announcer : She's in there with a triple!
Mae Mordabito : Time.
Umpire : Boy, did she smack that one on the kisser. No wonder they call her "All the Way" Mae.

Announcer : After the first month of league play, the shine still isn't off these "diamond" gals. Alice "Skeeter" Gaspers says legging out a triple is no reason to let your nose get shiny - Betty Grable has nothing on these gals. Helen Haley has not only been a member of several championship amateur teams, she is also an accomplished coffee maker.
