Nerd Alert

Jason and I were watching one of my favorite movies, A League of Their Own, last night. I know it's strange but I have a thing for baseball movies.

Anywhoo, I have always loved the look and feel of this movie. It seemed like a lot of time and care was put into giving the movie a very authentic 1940's setting. Then I noticed something that stuck out like a sore thumb. During one of the scenes, there is a banner proclaiming "Catch a foul, get a kiss." Well, thats ok except that is was written in Banco, a typeface introduced in 1952.




tsk tsk Penny Marshall.

I think I may have originally found this blooper; in fact, it was I who wrote the IMDB goof here.
