A League of their Own -The Candaele Connection
What better film to screen on Vintage Movie Night than the movie inspired by accomplishments of the mother of Bisons manager Casey Candaele, Helen Callaghan!
Callaghan was a centerfielder who played five seasons in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League! While playing for the Fort Wayne Daisies in her second season in 1945, she led the AAGPBL in hits, doubles, home runs and total bases and was second in runs and stolen bases.... earning her the nickname 'The Ted Williams of women's baseball." In all, Callaghan played 495 professional games with a .257 average, 449 hits, 71 extra-base hits and 117 RBI. She was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame first with the group of 68 Canadian members of the AAGPBL in 1998, and then individually in 2021.
Callaghan had five sons, including Bisons manager Casey Candaele and his brother, Kelly Candaele. Kelly was a filmmaker who produced the PBS documentary special on the AAGPBL to tell the story of his mom and the many other amazing women that made up the league. Filmmaker Penny Marshall saw the documentary and was inspired to create the hit 1992 film, A League of the Own! GET YOUR VINTAGE MOVIE NIGHT TICKETS
