The suspect apparently was returning to the area near the billiards parlor to try to find two friends who had earlier accom­ panied him, although they aren't charged in the holdup and the attempted robbery, Nelson said. An investigation hadn't revealed whether Aldrich was beaten up by The Ivory Room patrons or by someone else, Nelson said. "He could have been beaten up before all this happened," the detective said. Aldrich was arraigned Friday, by Westland 18th District Judge Sandra Ference Cicirelli on charges of armed rob­ bery and assault with intent to rob while armed. A not-guilty plea was entered for him, and he was scheduled for a March 27 preliminary hearing that will determine whether he*should stand trial in Wayne County Circuit Court. If convicted, Aldrich could face penal­ ties ranging up to life in prison. Although he was in a hospital Friday, Cicirelli set a $10,000/10 percent bond.

  • 1944 All-American Girls Baseball League
    HISTORY MAKER BASEBALL 1944 All-American Girls Professional Baseball League One of the top movies of 1992 was the film “A League of Their Own,” starring Tom Hanks, Geena Davis, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna, a story about a women’s professional baseball league formed during World War II. The movie was a critical and commercial success, earning glowing reviews, topping the box office by its second week of release, and earning over $150 million in ticket sales. The catch phrase, “There’s no crying in baseball!”—uttered by Rockford Peaches manager Jimmy Dugan (played by Hanks) made the American Film Instutute’s list of Greatest Movie Lines of All-Time, and the film itself was selected by the Library of Congress in 2012 for preservation in the National Film Registry, as being “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” Interestingly, when the film opened in ’92, relatively few of the people who saw it knew that it was based on an actual, real-life league—many thought it was complete fiction. But the fictionalized account portrayed in the movie was, in fact, based on a very real story. The All-American Girls Professional Baseball League was formed in 1943 out of concern that with so many players serving in World War II, big league baseball might be forced to suspend operations. The idea was that perhaps women could keep the game active and on the minds of baseball fans until the men could return from the war. The new league was bankrolled by big league owners, conducted nation-wide tryouts to stock its four inaugural teams with talented women players, and began competitive play in the spring of ’43—just as the movie’s screenplay detailed.
