Dottie Hinson
Aug 12, 2013
Published in
The 2018 Fictitious Athlete Inductees
Geena Davis’ Dottie Hinson (a composite of actual star players from the All American Girls Professional Baseball League) was the focal point of the excellent ensemble film about the aforementioned league that started in World War II. Davis may have been a last minute substitution for Debra Winger, but she looked every bit the best player and on field leader of the Rockford Peaches, the team she was the Catcher for. If any player on this version of the Peaches makes the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame, Dottie Hinson is probably the one that should go in.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
A League of Their Own (1992)
Actor:
Geena Davis
Position Portrayed:
Catcher
Played for:
Rockford Peaches
Why you should vote for her:
If you are looking to vote for a female, this is one of the best characters available.
Why you should not vote for her:
We are penalizing Hinson for being married to be Bill Pullman.

The Athletes
Brought in for comic relief, Rosie O’Donnell (Doris Murphy) was also the tough and insecure one of the team. Like Madonna (who would become her close friend), O’Donnell was at her best in a role like this, where she did not have to carry a movie; something she would prove over and over again that she could not do. Still, O’Donnell was decent here, and we would not be surprised to see a few votes cast this way.
Darryl Palmer

The Athletes
In this mess of a movie, we remember three things. The first is that Rebecca DeMornay was scorching hot. The second was that there was no way we believed that Darryl Palmer was seriously able to chase Roger Maris’ record. The third was that we thought Neil Simon never watched Baseball. Sadly we will admit that this film is a strange guilty pleasure of our, and we wager we are not alone in that.
Crash Davis

The 2014 Fictitious Athlete Inductees
Class of 2014 Inductee: Crash Davis
Bull Durham (1988)
Durham Bulls Catcher
Let’s all agree that Kevin Costner is a God for this type of Hall of Fame. If we are all in unison on that, than it stands to reason that his greatest athletic (and maybe greatest period) character, Crash Davis deserves to enter the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame on the first full ballot.
Arriving to Durham, North Carolina as “the player to be named later” Crash Davis arrives to his latest minor league team, charged with the task of mentoring a dimwitted young flamethrower.
Davis may be one of the most cerebral players in the minors, a mind you watch not only mentor the team but the older coach, struggling to get his team in gear. By proxy, we not only have one of the greatest baseball characters but a manager in the dugout.
Crash, a veteran of the “show” for twenty-one days makes the most of the talent he does have and though he never really had the overall physical skills to be Johnny Bench, he did carve out the distinction of being the all time record holder of Minor League Home Runs, a title he didn’t want, but impressive nevertheless.
At the end of what many of called the best sports film of all time, Crash gets his woman, the sultry and equally intelligent Annie Savoy (Susan Sarandon) and it is implied that he would embark into a career as a Manager, and damned if we didn’t see him becoming as successful as so many other Catchers turned Managers.
Score one for minor league baseball, respecting streaks and long, slow, soft, deep wet kisses that last three days.
Oh my!
