Movie Trivias

Tom Hanks had to gain 30 pounds for his role as the drunken coach of the Peaches. The ending scene which took place in the Baseball Hall of Fame had original players of the league in them. all the scratches and bruises you see are real and not makeup. The actual stadium the Peaches played in couldn’t be used for the movie for it was in a state of disrepair and was condemned. The only reminder of its existence is the original archway and the sign about the Peaches. All the stars that auditioned had to show they could actually play baseball, with the exception of Geena who used a double for stunts. Madonna’s stand in was an actual performer who had worked in Vegas for many years as Madonna. The disheartening scene when Betty Spaghetti’s husband died was so emotional it took three days to film. Renee Coleman’s Bruise remained with her for a year before actually healing.
