The film portrays the league as initially unpopular and unprofitable until demeaning gimmicks are used to attract male audiences. In reality, the league was popular and profitable from the start, largely because it played in towns in the upper Midwest that had no way of watching a live baseball game. Eventually, it grew into a ten-team, two-division league. The advent of televised baseball games in the early '50s, however, would lead to a demise in the popularity of the league.
