Contest: 2023 Fictitious Contributor Round 1
TV Show/Movie Appeared: A League of Their Own (1992)
Actor/Actress: Jon Lovitz
Why you should vote:: It is rare that a role this brief could get reviews this good.
Why you should not vote:: Again, it was a brief role.
Of all the Saturday Night Live alumni, would you ever think that Jon Lovitz would have a character from a sports film worth remembering? He did just that in “A League of Their Own” as a Baseball Scout who was responsible for finding female talent for the formation of a new league. His role was small, and was not seen after the fifteenth minute of the movie, but his lines were hysterical, and Lovitz was perfectly cast as the smug and slimy, Ernie Capadino. Although his role was unnecessary after he brought players to the tryouts, you wished the writers found a plot device to keep him in the movie. This is a definite wild card possibility for the contributor section of the Fictitious Athlete Hall of Fame.
