The setup: It’s the end of the first game and Ira Lowenstein, the man charged with turning this league into a viable product, is talking with Jimmy Dugan, who barely moved all game. Dugan makes it clear he doesn’t care, at all, about the league, then spits out a wad of chewing tobacco onto Lowenstein’s shoe. Lowenstein: “If we paid you just a littl...
The setup: Ernie Capadino, the scout, is talking with Dottie and Kit as they milk cows at the dairy. A city boy, clearly, he has a question. Capadino: “Doesn’t that hurt them?” Dottie: “Doesn’t seem to.” Capadino: “Well, it would bruise the hell out of me.” Why it’s the best: Jon Lovitz is pretty damn funny in his small role. Kinda wish they would ...
The setup: Kit Keller has just bowled over her big sister to score the winning run in Game 7 of the World Series, and the PA guy is going a bit crazy in all the excitement. PA announcer: “Hinson dropped the ball! Hinson dropped the ball! The ballgame is over. Racine has won the game, 3-2, and the World Series. Oh, take me home mama and put me to be...
The setup: Evelyn’s boy, Stillwell (Angel), is just a pest, and the players have had enough. Mae — “All the Way Mae,” played by Madonna — chases him around the bus, which stopped because Stillwell covered the bus driver’s eyes and nearly made them crash. Doris: “Mae, don’t use my bat. Use Marla’s, it’s heavier!” Why it’s the best: Rosie O’Donnell d...
The setup: Instead of a montage or narrator, they use old-fashioned newsreel clips to lay some of the story’s groundwork through the movie. Works well. This one’s early, talking about the need for female baseball players. Newsreel announcer: “Baseball’s biggest stars say, ‘Look out, Mr. Hitler. The Yanks are coming! Not to mention the Indians, Red ...
The setup: In the clubhouse before an important game. If the Peaches win, they make the playoffs. Jimmy Dugan walks in. Jimmy: “Listen up. Something important has just happened. I was in the toilet reading my contract, and it turns out I get a bonus when we get to the World Series. So, let’s play hard, let’s play smart. Use your heads!” Doris: “Tha...
The setup: The scout, Ernie Capadino, is on the train and the annoying guy next to him is already bragging before the train’s even started moving. Salesman: “In the Pacific Northwest, which is my territory, we have increased sales 106 percent in the last 12-month period. And this with a war on.” Capadino: “You know, if I had your job? I’d kill myse...
The setup: Jimmy, apparently, finally figures out who Miss Cuthbert, the team’s chaparone, reminds him of. Jimmy: “By the way, I loved you in 'The Wizard of Oz.'” Why it’s the best: As throwaway lines go, this one’s pretty funny.
The setup: Dottie doesn't want to leave to play baseball, but Kit desperately wants to go. She's gotta get out of that town. Capadino: “I don’t want you. I want her, the one who hit the ball. You can climb back under the cow.” Dottie: “She’s good. She’s very good. She’s a pitcher. She just didn’t pitch today because she pitched the day before.” Cap...
The setup: Two kids run up to Jimmy Dugan, looking for an autograph. Kid 1: “Mr Dugan? Will you sign my baseball?” Jimmy: “Sure.” Kid 1: “Wow! (reads the ball) Avoid the clap. Jimmy Dugan.” Kid 2: “Wow!”(both run off) Jimmy: “That’s good advice!” Why it’s the best: The scene’s funny anyway, but the way Jimmy calls after the kids, defending what he ...

However, we don’t acknowledge the fact that doing hard things is something that makes someone great. If you don’t take risks in your life, you can never achieve the desired success in your life. Well, it is a prevalent fact that if everyone is doing something, it is an easy thing.
If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night. Great things are done by a series of small things brought together. I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest ...

The hard is what makes it great.” We might say the same thing about leading well through periods of organizational change.
