Evansville remembers the filming of "A League of Their Own."

It is pleasingly ironic that in the same year (2011) NABC began serving beer for Dubois County Bombers collegiate league baseball games held in Huntingburg's League Stadium, which was built as a set for the movie "A League of Their Own," the film's 20th anniversary is being marked.

Evansville extras, workers recall 'A League of Their Own', by Thomas B. Langhorne.

When Bombers management contacted us earlier this spring, I confess to having no recollection of Huntingburg's part in filming. What I remembered was the use of Bosse Field in Evansville, as Langhorne's news article describes.

My other memory of the time: Madonna's petulence at being stuck in Evansville, as recalled by the writer:

Not even Madonna's later criticisms of Evansville — she told TV Guide she “may as well have been in Prague” — could dim the afterglow.

It may be the only recorded instance of a comparison between Evansville and Prague, and if I were the Indiana city, I'd use it. Prague's reaction is unknown.
