Trivia / A League of Their Own (2022)

• Actor-Inspired Element: There's a brief joke where Carson says "have a catch" instead of "play catch," to Max's confusion and amusement, which was written in because Abbi Jacobson in real life refers to "playing catch" as "having a catch."
• Actor-Shared Background:
  • Lupe is a Mexican-American like Roberta Colindrez.
  • Jess is a Canadian like Kelly McCormack.
• Approval of God: Before her passing, Penny Marshall gave the showrunners her blessing to adapt the film, noting there were much more stories to tell about the league than what she could fit into one film.
• Fake Nationality: Esti is Cuban, played by Priscilla Delgado, who's a Puerto Rican.
• Queer Character, Queer Actor:
  • Abbi Jacobson, who's bisexual, plays lesbian Carson.
  • Melanie Field is queer, playing Jo, who's a lesbian.
  • Roberta Colindrez, who's queer, plays Lupe, a lesbian.
  • Lea Robinson, who's nonbinary and queer, plays trans man Bertie.
  • Rosie O'Donnell plays Vi, who's a lesbian like her.
