"She was the main character in the movie "A League of Their Own" -- played by Geena Davis..."
Except that Dottie Schroeder entered the league at age 15 and Geena Davis' character was a married woman and older sister to another league player; and Dottie Schroeder played all 12 years the league existed and Geena Davis' character played only one season: and Geena Davis' character had the last name Hinson. The only similarities (from this photo's caption) are being a catcher named Dottie. Not enough to draw the connection, unless there's more you know you're not sharing.
